PRIMROSE is a distinctive double-ended daysailer designed by K. Aage Nielsen and built by Simms Brothers in Dorchester, Massachusetts, in 1936. Inspired by the traditional Danish spidsgatter, she combines graceful lines and a full keel with a manageable Marconi rig. At just over 15 feet, her generous cockpit and steady sailing characteristics give her the feel of a larger boat, while a forward cuddy provides convenient stowage.
PRIMROSE underwent an extensive refit at Ballentine’s Boat Shop in the 1990s, including replanking in white cedar. Her teak cockpit seats, bronze hardware, and carefully shaped stern reflect the craftsmanship and attention to detail associated with Nielsen’s designs. Featured in Small Boats Magazine, she offers a distinctive opportunity to own a classic wooden daysailer with a direct connection to our shop.
Offered at $35,000, PRIMROSE is located in Hopkinton, Massachusetts. Her inventory includes a mainsail, jib, cockpit cover, anchoring equipment, electric and manual bilge pumps, a battery with solar charger, and a Dyer-style dinghy that is available separately. A trailer is also included, although it will need attention.
She is currently located in Hopkinton, MA, and available to be seen by appointment only. Please contact Amy Ballentine Stevens via Email for more information about this listing or to schedule an appointment for viewing. Or call Amy at 508-563-2800.
