🐺 NEW LISTING: Dire Wolf, 2011 Protector Tauranga 41

Some boats wait for good weather. This one doesn’t.

Dire Wolf pairs Protector’s legendary build quality with brand-new 2025 twin Yamaha 350 outboards, pushing her to 58 mph. Her Hydro-V deep-vee hull extends the V all the way aft(18° deadrise at the transom), giving this big RIB the ride quality of a much larger boat with the agile, responsive feel Protectors are known for.

She’s just as comfortable as she is capable: a fully enclosed cabin with padded bunks, a finished standing head with electric toilet and sink, laid teak decks, Stidd helm and navigator seats, and a wraparound windshield with weather-tight side windows. Dual Garmin touchscreens with GPS and radar, a Side-Power bow thruster, Maxwell auto anchor and Lenco trim tabs round out a serious, well-equipped package.

📏 41' LOA | 12' beam
👥 Up to 15 passengers
⛽ 250 gal fuel, dual Racor separators
📍 Portland, ME

Fast, fierce and ready for all-day adventures in any conditions. Message us or call Wellington Yacht Partners to schedule a showing.

There’s something about a Hinckley

Few sailboats have earned the kind of devotion the Bermuda 40 has. Designed by Bill Tripp Jr. and built by Hinckley from 1960 to 1991, she paired offshore ability with a bronze centerboard that opened up harbors deeper boats could only admire from outside: 9'3" with the board down, just 4'9" with it up. Owners kept them for decades, and more than 60 years after hull #1 was built, a B-40 still turns heads on any mooring field in New England.

MOONLIGHT is among the very best of them. Her Flag Blue Awlgrip hull with gold leaf cove, gloss-varnished Honduras mahogany interior, and teak decks show the craftsmanship Hinckley is known for. Upgrades since 2017 include a 2017 Yanmar 45 HP, a complete 2018 Garmin electronics package with radar and AIS, a redone galley and head, and electric in-mast furling that makes her easy to sail shorthanded.

Fontaine Design Group’s vision, Lyman-Morse Boatbuilding build quality and Dana Robes’ finish work: SARAH JANE brings together three names we’ve long admired, and the result is one of the most elegant cruising yachts we’ve had the pleasure to share.

Her elegance begins with how she sails. Her powerful sail plan, deep centerboard and 27,000 lbs of internal ballast give her a smooth, sea-kindly motion and confident performance in all conditions. With the board up she draws under 6', which lets her reach anchorages most bluewater yachts can’t.

Below decks, the craftsmen at Dana Robes gave her a refined, classic finish. Traditional raised-panel mahogany, solid mahogany moldings and teak-and-holly soles create a warm interior. The enclosed pilothouse offers comfortable dining with views all around, and three cabins give family and guests their own space.

She was commissioned to take her owners around the world in safety and comfort. She has spent many winters stored indoors and has always been cared for by her Captain and Owner. A detailed list of the 2022–2024 refit work is available on request.

A confession from the brokerage side: when we’re listing a boat, we like to keep her in the water as long as we possibly can. A boat on a mooring, sails bent on and engine humming, shows the way it’s meant to be seen.

But here in New England, the calendar always wins. Eventually decommissioning goes from “soon” to “this weekend.”

Whether you’re selling, buying, or simply keeping her for another season, how a boat is put away says a lot about how she’s been cared for, and buyers notice. Our new guide walks through each step, from stabilizing fuel to supporting the keel properly on the hard.

Autumn is the finest boating season in New England, and the smartest time to buy a yacht.

As summer crowds thin out, you get calm anchorages, open slips from Newport to Bar Harbor, and foliage views from the Connecticut River and Narragansett Bay that you’ll never see from the highway.

If you’re shopping for your next boat, fall gives you a real advantage:
✔ Fresh post-season listings from motivated sellers
✔ Sea trials in realistic conditions
✔ Priority yard scheduling for winter refits
✔ A boat that’s ready the first sunny day of spring

Our new guide covers it all, including FAQs on surveys, winterization, and how late you can comfortably cruise.

Her owners loved their Little Harbor so much, they bought a bigger one.

That's the story behind BRISE DE MER, a 1987 Little Harbor 53. After seven years aboard, her owners have moved up to a larger Little Harbor, and she's ready for her next chapter.

We've talked about Little Harbor craftsmanship and centerboard designs. BRISE DE MER shows off a few more of the thoughtful details that make Little Harbor owners so loyal:

🔹 A rare two-cabin layout. Most 53s have three cabins. BRISE DE MER has an oversized, full-width master forward with a queen berth, plus a private VIP cabin aft. Each cabin has its own head and separate stall shower.

🔹 Storage that makes sense. Fuel and water tanks sit below the cabin sole, which frees up huge storage space under the seats and adds stiffness overall.

🔹 A versatile cutter rig. She carries a furling main, genoa and staysail, plus an asymmetrical spinnaker for light air.

🔹 Light and airy below. She has 17 opening portholes, 11 deck hatches and six topside windows, so it's bright and breezy down below, not dark and closed in.

🔹 Chesapeake ready. With just 5'6" of draft (board up), she's perfectly at home in her current port of Oxford, MD, and just as ready for the Bahamas.

Previously featured in Chesapeake Bay Magazine, BRISE DE MER also comes with recent care: new topside and deck paint in 2023, a fresh barrier coat and bottom paint plus a new Strataglass dodger in 2026, and a watermaker, generator and Yanmar diesel already
