Description
MARTA
In the spring 2023, the Gannon and Benjamin Boatyard in Vineyard Haven, Mass, launched its 85th vessel, built to Nat Benjamin’s design No. 100.
At 26’ Marta is a nimble, fast, and easily managed daysailer / pocket cruiser. Her gaff mainsail and club jib are self-tacking, and may be raised and lowered from the cockpit. She is equipped with an electric inboard motor for quiet dependable power. The two, 48 volt batteries may be charged with a solar panel or plug-in when dockside. The cockpit accommodates six in comfort.
The Spartan interior is fitted with two berths, a galley counter to starboard, and a designated space for a head or porta-potti to port. She has plentiful storage both below deck and in cockpit lockers.
Marta is both elegant and simple. The varnished silver bally cabin sides, coamings and sliding hatch, are balanced with a painted deck and cockpit, and natural wood toe rails.
“In my few years of messing about on boats, I have tried to include the basic ingredients for safety, speed and comfort with a strong emphasis on good looks…I feel it’s important to keep a weather eye on current trends but not be influenced by the glitter only the grace.” Nat Benjamin
