Ordering Your Stuart Knockabout:

Stuart Knockabouts ordered by the end of February will be completed for a Spring launch and/or delivery.

Because there is an emerging interest in class racing with the Stuart Knockabout and we want to support our yacht clubs we will reduce the cost of each Stuart with volume ordering. If you represent a yacht club or would like to organize a fleet of Stuart Knockabouts, please contact us, we would be happy to help any way we can.

Made in the USA: Stuart Knockabout

Where and Why

We are proud to be a small business that supports other local businesses. Not only is the Stuart Knockabout built in the USA but nearly every part of her is too, and most can be traced to within 100 miles.

We buy local, not only because it is nice doing business with neighbors but also because we seek the same level of quality in the parts that we strive for in the whole. Proximity allows us to work with our suppliers to build a product of quality and consistency.

Better pieces make a better boat and the Stuart Knockabout is an elegant example of that.

Parts of the whole

Hardware

• We have our custom bronze hardware cast at Edson Anbar Foundry in New Bedford.

• We use Schaefer Marine blocks and tracks, also built in New Bedford, MA.

Hull & Lead Keel

• The fibeglass hull and parts are manufactured at Pine Grove Plastics in Freetown, MA.

• The folks at I. Broomfield & Sons pour the lead keel. They are located in Providence, RI.

Sails and Rig:

• The rig and spars are constructed at Hall Spars and Rigging in Bristol, RI.
