SPRITE 



The 10-foot sloop Sprite came about primarily as a result of the efforts of 

 Dr. Norris Hoyt of St. George's School, Newport, Rhode Island, to create 

 a small junior trainer. Dr. Hoyt enlisted the aid of naval architect Robert 

 Baker and George O'Day and the boat was created of fiber glass. The O'Day 

 Corporation (9 Newbury St., Boston, Mass.) is the builder and there are 

 now over eleven hundred boats in about thirty states, where they are often 

 adopted as junior trainers. The mast can be moved and the rig changed to 

 that of a cat. Price is $617 new, $510 used, no kits. 



VITAL statistics: L.O.A. loV; waterline 9'4''; beam 4'9"; draft 

 without board 3", with board 3'5"; sail area 63 sq. ft. (spinnaker used); 

 weight 150 lbs.
