Designed by Winthrop Warner in 1938 and built by Whitaker Marine, this classic wooden sailboat represents pre-war American yacht design at its finest. The cutter rig configuration provides versatility in sail handling, making it particularly well-suited for coastal cruising and weekend adventures. With a displacement of 11,500 pounds and 3,500 pounds of ballast in a traditional long keel configuration, this boat offers exceptional stability and seakindly motion in rough conditions. The substantial build and deep draft of 4.83 feet make it capable of offshore passages, though its 24.50-foot length keeps it manageable for smaller crews. The impressive comfort ratio of 44.11 indicates this design prioritizes motion comfort over pure speed, while the low capsize screening value of 1.6 speaks to its inherent seaworthiness. The wooden construction reflects the craftsmanship standards of its era, requiring dedicated maintenance but rewarding owners with classic aesthetics and solid performance. Hull speed reaches 6.04 knots, respectable for a boat of this vintage and type. This Warner design appeals to sailors seeking traditional character, proven seaworthiness, and the satisfaction of maintaining a piece of maritime history while enjoying reliable coastal and offshore sailing capabilities.
