Our racing experience also helps us
better serve our recreational sailing customers.
Just like ski racing, the technology and techniques
developed at the competitive level trickle down to make
better, cheaper, easier to use equipment for every day
sailors. We're here to help you sail more
often, with less hassle. And if you need expert
advice on how to fix or better use your boat, we're the
ones who can give it to you. So, give us a call!
History
Founded over 20
years ago by Barry Sturgis, Sturgis Boat Works has grown
from a small local sail maker selling Optimist Dingies
to an internationally known high performance sailboat
shop representing every major performance dinghy builder.
In 2001 Sturgis was purchased by Matt Wake, well known
for his expertise in the Optimist and Laser classes.
It was his vision to build Sturgis Boat Works into the
premiere source for youth sailing boats, equipment and
advice that it has become. Success in the youth
sailing world soon spilled over into performance sailing
as a whole, encompassing Vanguard 15’s, Laser Masters,
skiff sailing and Hobie Cats. Sturgis now brings
the exciting world of performance sailing to both the
highest levels of international racing and the most
casual of recreational sailors.
Location
Sturgis Boat Works
is located in MA on
Cape Cod
but, that’s just where our store and warehouses are
located. We crisscross the continent providing
boats and support at national and international
regattas. This has several benefits for our
customers. First, it supplies VIP charter services
for racing sailors. Second, it guarantees that our
staff is totally up to date on the most cutting edge
technology and techniques being used by the top
performance sailors in the world. Third, it
affords serious sailors the opportunity to buy boats
from a dealer who is committed to being at all the top
regattas to support them when they need it most.
Fourth, it allows us to bring back a wealth of knowledge
to our local sailors, yacht clubs and recreational
sailors. It’s the best of both worlds; a very
strong local dealership and the best support for
national sailors available anywhere in the world.
Staff
Our company is the
product and vision of it's owner, Matt Wake. Matt
learned to sail in wooden Optimists
starting at 5 years old. After sailing and racing
Optimists, Matt went on to race FJ's and Lasers while
also competing in high level keel boat racing, mainly NA
40's and International 50's and eventually the Melges
24. His experience ranges from coaching local to
international level teams, he has worked as a Program
Director and Head Coach and has been a USODA National
Team Coach. His experience as coach, boat builder,
retailer and distributor have earned him respect as a
technical expert in all the boats we sell.
Currently, Matt is sailing a Laser and F24 trimaran but,
can also be found cruising around in a Hobie Adventure
Island. When he’s not sailing or traveling to
regattas, Matt lives on
Cape Cod
with his wife Julie, daughter Larsen and their yellow
lab Hobie (our shop dog).
