The Dark Harbor 17 is a 26-foot wooden sailing yacht built in 1919, designed as a one-design class that once raced along the Maine coast. She embodies classical proportions with long overhangs, deep draft, and a gaff rig carried by a slender, responsive hull. The boat features a self-bailing cockpit and can be handled by a single sailor or comfortably accommodates up to three people aboard.
Below deck, a small cuddy cabin contains two narrow berths arranged in a simple, spare layout. The cabin serves equally well as dry storage or shelter during weather, offering an intimate retreat when needed.
This wooden yacht represents a distinctive era of Maine maritime design and racing heritage. The boat is presented as an opportunity for restoration and return to active sailing.
