Custom 22' Friendship Sloop

Built in 1965 by master builder Merrill Young at Lie-Nielsen's Lee Boat Shop in Rockland, Maine, Echo is 22 feet long (plus her bowsprit) with cedar planking on oak frames. Her first owner was William Thon, one of Maine's famous watercolorists. She has Harold Burnham-built Oceanus sails (2015) and comes with both electric and gas outboards. Her traditionally-built hull is cedar planking over oak frames. Her spars are spruce, with standing rigging using deadeyes. Her deck fittings are bronze. Her large cockpit represents her original purpose of a work platform that accommodates several people with a small cabin for overnighting two in the cabin. As an aside, of her four owners, she has been owned and sailed by three artists including the current owner.) She has been well updated and maintained and is ready to sail at a very reasonable price.
