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!

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.

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.
