Combining Traditional & Modern in a Sailboat Ideal for Easy Outings
CAPE COD SHIPBUILDING CO. was thrilled to launch Hull No. 2 of our Marlin Heritage 23, a “modern classic” daysailer/overnighter that perfectly fits the bill for traditional looks and modern conveniences. We’ve combined the classically
beautiful hull designed by Captain Nat Herreshoff, the “Wizard of Bristol,” with convenience and ease of use. We’ve fitted this boat with the gorgeous features you’d expect of a classic: high-gloss varnished mahogany coamings, oiled teak interior trim, teak and holly sole. With two bunks below, Porta Potty, cooler, electrical system for running lights, inboard Yanmar diesel with
folding prop, self-tacking roller-furling jib, seating for six, and a low-maintenance galley, the Marlin Heritage 23 has everything needed for single-handed or family sails. If you are becalmed, simply pushing a button starts the engine.
Hull No. 2, which was delivered to an owner in Chesapeake Bay, had system upgrades such as a swing-arm GPS, viewable from the tiller or down below. As the oldest American sailboat builder in continuous production, our first-rate construction and semi-custom sailboats are a welcome contrast to mass-produced, lightweight sailboats built elsewhere. We hand-lay fiberglass and mold the hull and deck to form one unit, ensuring that our boats last for generations. Today, with the third generation of Goodwins onboard, we continue to preserve the designs of the past while offering modern amenities for the practical sailor.
