Description
True head-turner, Summer Wind is a classic Tom Colvin Gazelle schooner with a unique junk rig, built tough with 1/4" steel for serious cruising. Designed for adventure, she’s been a trusted tour boat for 16 years, logging over 75,000 miles and carrying 25,000+ passengers. A regular in the Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race, she’s proven her seaworthiness time and again.
Her spacious deck and cozy interior make her ideal for long voyages or life aboard. Equipped with a Yanmar diesel, she offers a fuel range of 260-350 nautical miles, with a design that favors efficient sailing over engine reliance. Her versatile junk rig is easy to handle, reducing the need for constant sail adjustments and making her a joy to sail short-handed.
Originally chosen for her character and charm, Summer Wind draws attention wherever she goes. Her classic lines, rugged steel hull, and distinctive rig make her stand out in any marina. The boat’s history, durability, and well-maintained systems ensure she’s ready for new adventures, whether cruising coastal waters, exploring distant shores, or continuing as a working vessel.
For those looking for a schooner with history, charm, and adventure-ready capabilities, Summer Wind is an opportunity not to be missed.

John Guidotti grew up on the Chesapeake Bay in Mayo and Edgewater, Maryland, where he worked for several watermen and developed a deep foundation in maritime life. He graduated from South River High School in 1996 and joined the U.S. Army in 1999, spending nearly 20 years in service, including three deployments in Iraq.
In 2018, John returned home to Maryland and purchased a boat after losing a bid on a house—marking the beginning of his transition back to civilian life on the water.
Shortly thereafter, he began working as a yacht broker with Hawks Marine. Not long into his brokerage career, he obtained his U.S. Coast Guard Master 100 Ton license, which he has held for the past six years.
John has experience operating a wide range of vessels, from 11-foot RIBs to the 140-foot, 450-passenger dinner vessel The Spirit of Baltimore. The majority of his experience, however, is with private yachts ranging from 30 to 70 feet. He has completed vessel deliveries up and down the East Coast, from New York to the southern coast of North Carolina. John currently lives aboard his own boat in Baltimore Harbor.
