Description
The Dark Harbor 17 is a sailing machine in the purest sense — graceful, powerful, and deeply satisfying to steer. Easily handled alone and reassuringly secure for up to three aboard, she pairs a self-bailing cockpit with a small cuddy cabin. Long overhangs, deep draft, and a timeless gaff rig unite in a slender hull that feels alive in the hand: fast, responsive, and beautifully balanced.
The rounded cabin trunk encloses an intimate space with two narrow berths — simple, spare, and just enough. More often, the cuddy serves as dry storage, a refuge during a passing squall, or a quiet moment of privacy when it’s welcome.
Once a thriving one-design class along the Maine coast — racing out of Islesboro, North Haven, Northeast Harbor, and Bucks Harbor — the Dark Harbor 17 endures as an emblem of a particular time and place. For those drawn to reviving something pure, honest, and beautiful, SHADOW offers a rare opportunity to return one of these iconic boats to the water, where her spirit belongs.
SHADOW is owned by Artisan Boatworks and is available for restoration. Two additional Dark Harbor 17s are also available. Please call or email for an overview of what a Dark Harbor 17 restoration entails.
