Description :
The 30′ Dark Harbor 20 was designed in 1934 by Sparkman & Stephens for one-design racing at the Tarratine Yacht Club on Islesboro, ME, where these sleek marconi rigged sloops continue racing to this day.
BRIGHT BAY (Originally GHOST) was built of cold-molded wood/epoxy construction in 1997 by John England and Taylor Allen at Rockport Marine in Maine. She was John Englands first new build with Rockport Marine and the first cold-molded boat built by the yard. Done on speculation to show the world what they were capable of together; she was the first in a series of larger high-profile cold-molded yachts.
BRIGHT BAY was built to exacting class specifications, with the only departure from the original design being the curved, elliptical cabin trunk and cockpit coamings which were thought to be more attractive, and are doubtlessly more comfortable than the originals. Below there are two settee-bunks with comfortable sitting headroom for an afternoon nap or a weekend camp-cruise
In December 2021 Artisan Boatworks replaced all of the deck hardware with black Harken Carbo (except that which was bronze), refinished all of the paint and varnish, added a small carbon bowsprit, and new Doyle racing sails, including an asymmetrical reaching spinnaker on a furler.
Today BRIGHT BAY is on a mooring in Edgartown Harbor and available for viewing and immediate delivery. Whether racing in local classic yacht regattas, leisurely family daysailing, or both I cant imagine a more perfect boat.
