"One pull on the long flexible oars and it all comes back. It's like dancing again with a long-lost love.- Willem Lange

"It pretty much spoils you for any other rowing boat." - Yachting

"It is 5:15 a.m. I am rowing my Steve Kaulback Adirondack Guide Boat off the coast of Cape Cod. The waters are glassy. My prow slices the surface. I disturb several diving cormorants. I am transfixed. I am in touch. For me the opportunity to be most fully human occurs in a Steve Kaulback Adirondack Guideboat. Great stuff. Trust me." -Tom Peters, Forbes

Buzzards Bay Boat Shop - Building the L. Francis Herreshoff Buzzards Bay 14

Cape Cod, MA

Email: Contact Us

In the building of the Buzzards Bay 14, the Buzzards Bay Boat Shop keeps as close to the L. Francis Herreshoff's design as possible. The most obvious difference is that the hull, bulkheads and deck are built using fiberglass. She is a 17' 9" daysailor that can sail six people comfortably and handles anything from a light drifter day to rough water churned up by the southwester of a typical summer afternoon. This is the perfect boat for both the new sailor just learning the ways of the sea, or the more experienced sailor who appreciates a vessel of this caliber.

And ugliness needn't be the price of scientific design.

Middle Path Boats elegant craft have everything the performance oriented cruising rower could want: speed, stability, capacity, ruggedness, portability and safety. All of these qualities can be found in other craft, but not in the balance that makes Middle Path's Skua so special. With an effortless glide Skua almost seems to be self-propelled and to track and turn in direct response to your brainwaves.
