Designer's Comments

Fast and elegant cruiser in the Whitehall style. Designed as a rowing and sailing tender for the motoryacht Island Eagle.  Traditional construction with bright finished mahogany planking copper riveted to steam bent white oak frames.  Modern touches include an unstayed standing lug rig and twin sliding seat rowing system.
