1996 Landing School 26 Ellis This Herreshoff style sailer is a true one-of-a-kind find.  Aquarius has been in the same family for 20 years since she was built and finished by The Landing School in Arundel, Maine.  A true "Maine Built Boat", she has beautiful lines and has always been stored in a huge dirt-floored barn.  Her sails and rigging are immaculate as is her fit and finish.  Should the winds die she has an excellent 10hp Yanmar diesel to get you home.

2001 Landing School LS-26 This is a one owner boat, sailed its full life in fresh water, here on Lake Winnipesaukee. It has been well maintained, and it shows. Here is a nice opportunity to enjoy a classically built sail boat The Landing School 26 Weekender is designed to fill the need for a high quality day sailor/weekender. She is designed for the experienced yachtsman who appreciates first class construction, but whose schedule and/or preference demand the handiness of a day sailor.  The design combines classic good looks with contemporary performance. The hull is balanced, with relatively narrow beam, moderate displacement, fin keel, and a spade rudder. Stability comes from a low center of gravity rather than wide beam, thereby allowing the LS-26 Weekender to stay on her feet and maintain her balance as the wind pipes up.  The hull is cold molded, combining the warmth of wood with relatively low maintenance. Bulkheads and joiner work are structural, and combine with the full length stringers and monolithic hull to provide a stiff platform for maintaining proper rig tension.  The easily handled fractional rig is modest, but given the LS-26 Weekenders moderate displacement and low wetted surface ratios are achieved, insuring good performance. The small inboard diesel provides a safe, convenient method for negotiating narrow channels and todays crowded harbors when the wind dies.  Since the primary intent is day sailing, the low-profile cabin provides shelter for children or the occasional overnight. A properly sized V-berth, a head, small galley and two comfortable seats make the cabin cozy, yet comfortable.  The cockpit on the LS 26 Weekender is made for day sailing. Approximately 8 feet long, with wide seats, and high backrests, the deep cockpit gives the feeling of sailing in, rather than on, the boat. What a great place to spend the day with family and friends!
