C.W. Paine Yacht Design, Inc.
THE WORLD’S FINEST YACHT DESIGNS
Fads come and go. But the sea doesn't change. If you want a safe, stable, forgiving yacht- build or have built for you, one of these superb designs and it will change your life.
Most sailboats today are designed around their accommodations, to show well at boat shows and to "perform" well at marinas, and are built at low quality and even lower cost in slave labor countries. Regrettably, they are generally not up to the rigors of real ocean voyaging- for this you have to build something special.
Very simply, most of these designs are ones that are not currently "in production." But they are so superior that a sensible aspiring voyager will find a way to get his built, and go.
Paine designed sailing designs range from small high-performance day boats to huge sailing palaces. Briefly they are:
Investment-grade yachts for highly committed yachtsmen.
Yachts with full accommodations capable of extensive worldwide cruising.
Light but durable speedsters competitive in point to point racing.
Paine’s famous series of light-displacement, long-waterline, ocean-voyaging yachts.
A class of racing yachts for racers who value beauty as well as competition.
Intriguing designs that didn’t fit the other categories.
Designs with compromised headroom but stimulating performance.
A specialty of the Paine office, styled after the work of designers gone before.
