Shellback dinghy built by Ballentine's Boat Shop

We have begun production of the Shellback dinghy designed by Joel White, and the Doug Hylan, Beach Pea Pod.  They may be ordered finished to prime paint condition or completed to a yacht standard.  A sailing package is available, which may be added at a later date if desired.  Details may also be adjusted based on your finishing and hardware preferences.

Shellback's first cruise: 

Shellback's first sailWe first tested the Shellback as a cruising tender in a cruise to Scituate, it was there that we also had our maiden sail. We explored the shoals and inlets of the South River, then jumped over to P-town before returning to Red Brook Harbor.  The Shellback served us well when we needed transportation and gave us the avenue for a leisurely sunset sail and a rigorous morning row.    Shelback row
