16.5′ Melonseed

Description

Available Now! Stock sailboat – A Timeless Classic with Modern Touches

This stock Melonseed sailing model features a white gel coat deck, dune beige interior, and forest green stripe. Built for both beauty and performance, it includes a stainless steel keel rib strip, tandem sliding seat, storage hatches, jiffy reefing, and additional options can be added.

The Melonseed is a classic design rooted in the Chesapeake Bay, offering a blend of grace, speed, and versatility. At 16’5” with a 64” beam, it provides exceptional tracking thanks to its flat-bottom box keel, allowing it to sit level on docks and beaches. The sealed deck increases freeboard, ensuring comfortable heeling under sail without swamping. With its balanced lug rig, the Melonseed is easy to handle, performs well in light winds, and allows for sliding seat rowing—even with the mast up.

This stock Melonseed is the perfect combination of historical charm and modern convenience, ready for your next adventure on the water! Reach out for details or to reserve it before it’s gone.
