Born from the drawing boards of legendary designers John G. Alden and Sam Crocker in 1921, this compact sailboat represents classic New England craftsmanship at its finest. With only 103 hulls built across several prestigious yards including Lawson's Boat Yard, William Chamberlain, and Reed-Cook, the Indian has earned a devoted following among traditional sailing enthusiasts. The boat's wood lapstrake construction combined with fiberglass components creates a distinctive aesthetic that harks back to sailing's golden age. Her fractional sloop rig and keel/centerboard configuration offer versatility for both shallow water exploration and deeper water sailing. At just over 21 feet overall with a beam of 6.25 feet, she strikes an ideal balance between manageable size and seaworthy capability. The Indian excels as a coastal cruiser and daysailer, perfectly suited for exploring harbors, bays, and protected waters. Her moderate displacement and comfortable cockpit make her an excellent choice for sailors seeking authentic traditional sailing experiences without sacrificing performance. The combination of proven design pedigree and quality construction has helped these boats maintain their value and desirability among collectors of classic small craft.
