Sage 17 is an Americantrailerablesailboat that was designed byJerry Montgomery as adaysailer and apocket cruiser and first built in 2011.[2][3]
The design was built bySage Marine inGolden, Colorado,United States beginning in 2011, and production ceased after being suspended in 2020 due to theCOVID-19 pandemic.[2][4][5]
Sage 17 is a recreationalkeelboat, built predominantly ofcarbon fiber,fiberglass withvinylester resin, withteak wood trim. The deck, coach house and transom have abalsa core.
The sailplan is a 7/8fractionalsloop with a single set of spreaders. The hull has aplumb stem, verticaltransom, transom-hung kick-uprudder controlled by atiller and an underbody with a shoal keel containing acenterboard.
Displacement is 1,300 lb (590 kg) and carries 120 lb (54 kg) of ballast in the centerboard, with an additional 400 lb (181 kg) of ballast in the keel.[2][3]
Sage 17 has a draft of 3.50 ft (1.07 m) with the centerboard extended and 1.75 ft (0.53 m) retracted, allowingbeaching and simplifying transportation on atrailer.[2]
The boat is normally fitted with a two horsepoweroutboard motor for docking and maneuvering.[2][3]
The cabin has sleeping accommodation for two people with a double "V"-berth in the cabin. Interior seating is port and starboard just aft of the "V"-berth at the companionway. Ahead is located under the aft end of the "V"-berth.[3]
The 98 sq ft (9.1 m2)main was offered with one or two reef points. Multiple headsails were available:
Roller reefing/furling headsail hardware was an option.[3]
Sail magazine named the design one of itsBest Boats of 2013, describing it as, "a pretty, seamanlike little thing that’s sure to draw admiring looks way out of proportion to its size."[6]
InSail magazine's 2013 review Kimball Livingston wrote, "It's easy to like this boat. Anyone looking for a pocket cruiser more or less like this little one should ask for a dance."[7]
