ABOUT US


Bufflehead is a 32’ wooden gaff sloop, strong, safe, swift, and seaworthy. (32' LOD 10'6" Beam 5'3" Draft) Her comfortable cockpit is complimented by wide side decks and a small cabin which features a very cozy, comfortable interior. She has been featured in numerous articles and was Miss June 2011 in the Calendar of Wooden Boats.
    She was designed and built by the famed Bud McIntosh for his own use, and combines all he had learnt into an expression of manifest excellence.  Shaped full above the waterline, and hollow below, she is swift, safe and easily driven.  Pine planking from a tree which grew in a cemetery and was struck by lightning is riveted with copper to steamed oak framing.  She has full six foot headroom below, along with cozy berths, a small wood cookstove, a propane cooktop, a sink, with fresh and salt water, also a separate head with a simple comfortable toilet.  There is a cooler and plenty of fresh water.
    A two cylinder 13 hp Volvo-Penta Diesel is tucked in her, and its slow turning peaceful power serves as reliable propulsion if the wind dies, or schedules must be maintained.
    With her club foot jib, and high peaked mainsail, she is as easy a boat to sail as could be asked, predictable and sweet, she turns heads and steals hearts where ever she goes.  Come join us on the water!


   Captain Daniel Bennett began sailing, building boats and juggling at 11 years old.  At 16, he set to a life at sea, sailing square riggers and  schooners in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, eventually spending six years sailing singlehanded between Maine, the Caribbean and Ireland in a small engineless boat. He has logged 100,000 nm at sea, and knows Penobscot Bay to be one of the finest sailing grounds in the world. He rebuilt Bufflehead in 2008. Eager to share tales and  history of this region as well as the natural wonders and delightful experience,  he invites you aboard Bufflehead. Please call or email to step into your own custom adventure.
