Off Center Harbor's Remarks
(Was $18,900) Joel White used to say it takes more skill to get a little boat design to look good than a big one. Few designers drew more beguiling small boats than Fenwick Williams and this snug little double-ender is surely a case-in-point. And what's more, she appears to be in outstanding condition. Although she would make a wonderful single-handed weekender, we think of her as an ideal daysailer with room below for an after-lunch nap before the sea breeze kicks up around two.
Description from Boat's Main Listing
Designed by Fenwick Williams and built by a Maine trained boatbuilder ZEPHYRUS has been meticulously maintained and is in sailaway condition. This pocket cruiser features many improvements by her current owner including a new mast (2017), boom (2017), standing and running rigging, and much more.
Comments by the owner:
While working in Alden’s office in 1928, Fenwick Williams designed this 21 foot “knockabout” double ender. The design is a smaller version of his 24’ gaff rigged yawl and is a remarkably spacious, compact, pocket cruiser. The fractional marconi rig carries 271 square feet of sail, and the ample freeboard of the spoon bow keeps sailors reasonably dry. This boat was painstakingly constructed in New Orleans by a Maine-trained builder who used every available technique to construct a rot-proof wooden boat including pressure treating the white oak ribs and selecting the most rot resistant species of wood. The boat went to Maine a few years after her launching to insure she did not fall victim to the humid conditions of the south, and her two Maine owners have worked extensively to preserve and upgrade her.
ZEPHYRUS was sailed regularly this past summer (2018) and is currently under cover where she is easily accessible.
