THE LEVANT 15 DEMOSTRATOR is for sale as of May this year. Fully equipped with a Triad brand trailer, beautiful sails and lots of attractive options. Price $97303.00
PETUNIA (Original 1937 Herreshoff 12 1/2), CECILIE-ZOEY (Brand new PAINE 15), and CLYDE (Old but fully restored Dyer 10 dinghy) ready for launching June 14, 2020.
Our Paine 15 demonstrator is ready for you to test. Sure, it is maybe the finest new sailing yacht built anywhere in the world this year, so you have to think about what it will cost. But if you are financially fortunate, you can buy the world’s best sailboat at its cost only without a thought of profit. for under $100,000. Next year we fear our government’s penchant for printing “money” will balloon this by 25% or more. So as they say in Latin, carpe diem. By the time you recognize the wisdom of contacting us, she will probably be gone.
IT’S NOT TOO EARLY to start thinking about a new boat. If you want the finest quality, highest performance sailboat in the world, and if you can afford the very best, please contact Chuck to arrange a test sail of the PAINE 15 in the early Spring.
Experienced sailors will be able to see that there is only maybe 7 to 8 knots of wind blowing here. But the boat is going at hull speed! It takes a very special design to achieve performance like this.
Maybe the best sailing sailboat of its size in the world.
I launched my new Paine 15 earlier this week. She is a spectacular performer- stiff and fast and perfectly balanced and super safe. You can find out more about her, and see more photos, on this website. Just click on PAINE 15.
The second Paine 15 is nearly finished- just needs some more varnish.
The Paine 15 is the finest small sailboat designed in many a year. Come for a sail with me in Tenants Harbor and order one from Todd French and she will enhance your life immensely.
ChuckPaine.com LLC is a new company which will focus upon putting small, very seaworthy sailboats into the hands of the next generation of nautical adventurers. We will emphasize small to midsize yachts because they enable aspiring voyagers to get out there before their geriatric years. Unlike my old company, now closed, we will leave motoryacht design to others—the world does not need more ways to use up its precious one-off gift of liquid energy. Corporations are not all faceless automatons running on autopilot. At least the small ones are steered, influenced, perhaps inspired by their leaders. Hence this Blog, in which Chuck Paine blurts out his personal take on subjects as varied as his yacht designs as works of art, his clients, his other life as an oil painter, and the state of the world in general. Don’t forget this is a blog, and it’s a lot more fun for others to read when people who read it (THIS MEANS YOU!) post your comments- positive or scathing- for all the world to see.
