Senility is a 22' Friendship Sloop originally built by Chuck Collins of Bass River Boat Works in Massachusetts in 1976 from the Passamaquoddy mold. From 2017-2019 her current owner totally refurbished her, including enlarging her cockpit. She is a fiberglass hull with a fiberglass deck assembly with molded-in non-skid, and new varnished spruce spars with an extensively reconditioned diesel engine. Her cabin houses a portable head with storage compartments. Her classic gaff rig, clipper bow, and sheer are not only graceful but provide stability for sailing with family and friends or solo. If you are in the market for a small classic coastal sloop in Bristol condition, this Friendship is well worth your consideration!
