Congratulations on choosing to buy a boat built with the quality and

heritage that is only found in Maine.Ultimately your most difficult task

will be choosing a builder among all the exceptional yards throughout the state. Whether you’re commissioning a new build, buying a production model, or investing in a used boat, there are many careful considerations you have to make.

Sail or PowerFirst, decide on the type of boat that

will fit your needs. Are you sailor? If so, are you looking for a small boat to daysail around the harbor, or are you looking for a larger cruising boat that will be safe and stable offshore? Among the sailboat types are single-masted sloops, as well as schooners, yawls and ketches that all have two or more masts. Maine is world-renowned for its sailing grounds, so you’ll find many builders that specialize in

sailboats of all types and sizes.For powerboaters, you have similar

considerations for size and use. Some boats are better suited for lake use, while others are ocean-going vessels equipped for long distances. If you’re choosing a powerboat, decide how far you plan to journey with it and whether you’d like it to be trailerable for over-the-road travel. Many powerboats are small and light enough to be launched off their trailers, while others require

a crane or lift launching offered by boatyards.

Maine is perhaps best-known for its lobster-boat style powerboat hulls. These boats have handsome lines and traditional aesthetics that capture attention in every port. Originally used exclusively for commercial fishing, these boats are versatile enough to be equipped as family-style boats.

With the popularity of fishing extending across the nation on both lakes and oceans, there are dozens of styles of fishing boats that are practical and attractive. If you plan to use your boat extensively for fishing, consider finding one with a livewell and a stable platform for casting. Offshore fishermen often prefer to have a flybridge or tuna tower to find their catch in deep waters.

If you’re looking more for a boat that safe and comfortable for day-trips and short overnight anchorages, consider a runabout or a small cruiser. Many center-console style fishing boats also double as family-style boats with a head and berth for coastal adventures.

Gas or DieselThere’s an eternal debate among

boaters regarding gas- or diesel-powered engines. Whether you’re buying a sailboat with an auxiliary engine or a powerboat, you’ll likely have to consider how it’s powered.

Smaller boats are often easily powered with one or two outboard gas engines, which is generally an efficient means. As boats get larger, they often require diesel engines, which makes a difference in range. If you’re planning to travel at slower

Calvin Beal 38 by SW Boatworks

speeds in general, diesel engines have an advantage over gas when it comes to fuel consumption.

Wood, Glass or MetalAnother key decision is the hull

material for your boat. Most of the small and mid-sized used boats you’ll find on the market are built with either fiberglass or aluminum. These are both solid materials with significant integrity and longevity. While fiberglass and metal are the most common boatbuilding materials, wood is also an efficient and durable option for both sailboats and powerboats.

Many people think of wooden boats as classic and spirit of tradition-style boats. They’re often considered to require more maintenance than their composite and metal counterparts. Today many modern wooden boats are built using a method called “cold molding,” which uses multiple layers of wood sealed with epoxy resin, and sometimes skinned with a layer of fiberglass. Cold-molded boats are actually equally — if not more — durable than fiberglass boats, and they are also very lightweight and rigid. The long-term maintenance of a cold-molded boat is no more than if it were built entirely from glass. Many builders are still effectively employing cold-molding technology, and they will attest to this method’s durability.

New or UsedThe good news for you is that the

current used and new boat markets are healthy for buyers. While there are many used boats on the market that you may be able to get quickly through a broker, consider investing more time in your boat and having a custom or semi-custom boat built to satisfy your very specific needs.

A Maine boatbuilder will work directly with you and a yacht designer to decide on a hull style, power package, and interior. Even small boats cans be customized by builders. Imagine having the boat of your dreams, built to last for generations. That’s the return in your investment when you choose to have a boat built in Maine.•Cover photos: Top — Eggemoggin 47 by Brooklin Boat Yard; below — Sabre 54 by Sabre Yachts.

Once you’ve invested in a Maine-built boat — or even if you’re

just traveling Maine waters in your transient yacht — you’ll want the right team of people to manage your vessel’s maintenance and repairs. Maine yards are well-respected for their talent, commitment and fairness with customers from around the world.

Services AvailableWhen you’re ready to choose the

best yard for your boat, consider what your needs are. The services available throughout Maine range from basic dockage and moorings to comprehensive refits.

Perhaps you’re just seeking winter storage and decommissioning and commissioning. Most of the yards along the coast that offer storage can also accommodate a basic maintenance schedule.

If you’re planning a lot of work on your vessel, consider a yard that specializes or has extensive

experience that fits your needs. For example, many yards are also dealers for various engines, so you may want to shop your engine replacement to a yard with manufacturer-certified technicians.

If you’re seeking aesthetic work, several Maine yards have very modern paint bays that provide exceptional finishes. There are also talented carpenters who offer interior work that rivals many of the best custom yacht companies worldwide.

CapabilitiesConsider your boat’s size when

you’re choosing a yard. Maine yards have lifting options that include hoists, cranes and railroads. Your boat’s length, width or displacement may dictate the best option for you.

Of course you should always feel free to ask for references from any yard you’re considering. Most service managers would be happy to share their success stories with you!•
