Additional Specs, Equipment and Information:

A NEW INTERCLUB CLASS

At the Quincy Adams Yacht Yard in Quincy, Mass., work on a new series of Interclub sloops is rapidly going forward.  The design for these was prepared by Fred Goeller and they have been named after Charles Francis Adams, former Secretary of the Navy, and yacht racing skipper of long standing.  The first boat to be completed will be delivered to the Mayor of Quincy and four others of the initial lot will go to prominent sailors in Massachusetts.  Local yachtsman on Massachusetts Bay have gotten behind this new boat will all possible enthusiasm.  The Adams Interclub class promises to be one of the liveliest in those parts during the upcoming season.  These new boats are being built to an overall length of 24 1/2 feet.  The waterline length is 17 feet, and they have an overall beam of 6 feet and carry 4 feet draft.  They carry 1,000 pounds of lead in their keel and have a displacement of about 2700 pounds.  Rigged as sloops, they carry a total of 253 square feet of sail, of which 165 feet is in the mainsail and 88 feet in the jib.  The sail plan further indicates a spinnaker of liberal size for the boats.  In appearance the boats are attractive and have a little cabin which will serve as shelter at times, or also as a place to stow sails or other gear when not needed.   The hull  more construction is simple and sturdy.  Plans are underway at Quincy Adams Yacht Yard to standardize this boat.  Should this come about many more would undoubtedly be sold, resulting in a much larger class of boats to engage in racing and similar class activities. 

It's believe that 15 or 16 boats were built and only hull #1 and hull #2 are still in existence. 

This is a complete package, ready to put you on the water and racing in the sought after wooden boat series.
