Design 773 Huntington Class 26 Sloop

The above image is of the shakedown sail for a 26 sloop, Sparkman & Stephens design #773 (note the snow in the background). We posted a short bit about this design in June (click here to follow the link), and as a follow up we have an original which has been fully restored and is sitting in a barn in Long Island (view listing here). This is one of those particularly special finds in our archives. The plans were penned by Al Mason when he worked with Sparkman & Stephens. The vintage is 1947. Al Mason was without question one of the finest draftsman in the business. Heres a copy of the construction plan which we include for your interest. Check out the lettering, all done free hand.


Heres an article from Yachting magazine circa 1948.
