Created as a club one-design, the Sakonnet was originally designed in 1937 for the Sakonnet Yacht Club in Little Compton, Rhode Island. Having a specific boat designed for a club to use in racing was very popular in the thirties. As pretty to look at as she was to sail, the Sakonnet featured a heavy displacement hull with a deep keel for additional stability, high freeboard for a dry ride, modest sail area and a spacious open cockpit area protected by high coamings and watertight bulkheads fore and aft, providing a very safe daysailer. The modern Marconi rig rounds out the overall look of this classic sailboat. This model has been created using original drawings from John G. Alden Navel Architects.
