Amelia visits Petunia, her 75 year old predecessor.
ART PAINE TAKES THE HELM

Art Paine tests Amelia.
Art is my greatist critic. After sailing the boat he began calling his friends, telling them to order one. She’s that good.
PAINE 14 LAUNCHING
Friday, July 26th, 2013
She floats! And right on her lines too.
AMELIA, our Paine 14 demonstrator, was launched yesterday July 24. She popped off the trailer and into her element and sails beautifully! We raced her against PETUNIA, an original Herreshoff 12 1/2, and she’s considerably faster and more nimble, at least in the light airs we experienced yesterday. This boat is such a great performer, I’ve got to get her into the hands of others. Stay tuned.

The modern keel and rudder are what set her apart from her legendary predecessor, the Herreshoff 12 1/2.
From any angle, the PAINE 14 is gorgeous!
OUT OF THE SHOP

AMELIA from forward.
AMELIA, our demo PAINE 14, has emerged from the shop to breathe the dust-free Maine air! This photo shows her hollow bow, invented by Nat Herreshoff and perfected by Chuck Paine. Two more coats of varnish and she’ll be launched.
PAINE 14 NEARING COMPLETION

MOTHER and DAUGHTER
Here are PETUNIA, 76 years young, and AMELIA, yet to be launched. If one picture can tell the story, this is it. You can see how much alike the Herreshoff 12 1/2 and the Paine 14 truly are. I put a light under Amelia to highlight the biggest difference… Petunia has a long keel, and Amelia a short, NACA-foil fin keel. What they have in common is their beauty.

READY TO LOWER
With the hull lifted, the keel is rolled under her and the hull slid down the bolts.
