New York 32 Turns 75 Design 125

The 75th anniversary of the NY32 Class, design #125, will be celebrated this coming weekend with a dinner at the New York Yacht Club in Newport, Rhode Island. After winning a design competition from the New York Yacht Club for a new one-design class, 20 original boats were built by Nevins of City Island at a cost of $11,000 each.



As Olin once said "We set out to design a good cruiser/racer with good all-around form, guided by the lines of Dorade, Stormy Weather and Edlu, and emphasized seaworthiness rather than around-the-mark agility."

The following boats will be represented at the Newport dinner:

Apache, #2

Falcon, #6

Salty, #9

Isla, #10

Sapphire, #15

Night Heron, #16

Gentian, #18

Siren, #20

Masquerade, #21

Here are the plans.
