Sage Marine was an American company that manufactured trailerable pocket cruiser sailboats and canoes. The Sage 17, Sage 15 and SageCat were designed by Jerry Montgomery[3]. Robb White's Sport Boat design inspired the SageSport[4]. In 2020 production of all boats ceased and the company closed.
Manufacturing History
Sage 17 was conceived in 2009 with design work and fiberglass mould completed in 2010. The prototype's first public debut was during the 2011 Lake Havasu Pocket Cruiser Convention[5]. A production prototype was completed June 2011 and full type production began in July. The last Sage 17 was completed in 2017[6] and production ceased in 2020.
In answer to customer demand for a boat less expensive and smaller (therefore easier to trailer, rig, and launch) than the Sage 17, the Sage 15 was conceived. Development was over multiple years with the design maturing into two versions: a sloop Sage 15 and a catboat SageCat. Both variants have the same deck, hull, cabin and daggerboard; only having different sailplans. The prototype SageCat was finished September 2015[7] and the prototype Sage 15 June 2016[8]. Deliveries to customers began mid-2017[9] with the last, a Sage 15, delivered mid-2018. Production ceased in 2020.
SageSport 160[10] expanded Sage Marine's products into non-sailing craft. Inspired by the Robb White Sport Boat[11], Sage's was made using fiberglass, carbon fiber and kevlar. Propulsion was by paddle, rowing with a fixed seat or a sliding seat, or using up to a six horsepower outboard. The prototype was completed mid-2018 and production ceased in 2020.
The building housing Sage Marine was torn down in 2022 with the expansion of Spyderco's manufacturing facilities[12]
