2012 – USED – 16.5′ Melonseed Sailboat

Description

A Rare Opportunity — 2012 Melonseed Sailboat

This exceptional 2012 Melonseed was built by Gig Harbor Boat Works founder Dave Robinson himself, making her a truly one-of-a-kind piece of our company’s history. She’s finished in striking Endeavor Blue with gold pin striping on both the deck and hull — a bold, classic combination that turns heads on the water. Outfitted for rowing and sailing in style, she comes fully equipped with a tandem sliding seat, storage hatches, lug rig sail, tiller extension, spar fly, two pairs of 9′ spoon blade oars, two seat cushions, a navy Sunbrella cover to keep her protected when she’s not on the water. A 2012 Carnai trailer is included.

The Melonseed is a classic Chesapeake Bay design celebrated for its grace, speed, and versatility. At 16’5″ with a 64″ beam, the flat-bottom box keel provides exceptional tracking and lets her sit level on docks and beaches. The balanced lug rig is easy to handle in a wide range of conditions, and the sliding seat setup means you can row her beautifully even with the mast up.

Built by the man who started it all, this is more than a used boat — she’s a piece of living history, ready for her next adventure.
