is being manufactured by Glas Laminates (Costa Mesa, Calif.). It is also 

 being marketed on the Great Lakes and East Coast. The construction is of 

 fiber glass and the boat is a good-looking example of an auxiliary of her 

 size, with moderate overhangs and a cabin with a moderate doghouse. 



Accommodations include four 6%' berths, a head, galley, etc. Headroom 

 is 6 feet. Price of the standard boat with Dacron working sails is $9512 f.o.b. 

 Costa Mesa, California. This includes in the standard equipment a good 

 deal of what is sometimes included as extras. 



VITAL statistics: L.O.A. 28'6''; waterline 22'6"; beam 8'; draft 

 (keel) 4'; sail area 382 sq. ft.; power either through a concealed outboard 

 well (standard) or an inboard 8-h.p. Palmer (optional). 



CONCORDIA 



The first of this well-known and very successful class was designed and 

 built in 1938. Waldo Rowland and C. Raymond Hunt (then a partner in 

 the Concordia Company), assisted by Llewelyn Howland, pooled their 

 boating knowledge to produce a yacht that would sail well through the 

 short seas and whistling sou'westers of Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts. After 

 building four boats in New England, the remainder of the ninety-two built 

 to date have come from the famous boatyard of Abeking and Rasmussen in 

 Germany. They are sold by the Concordia Company, Inc. (South Wharf, 

 South Dartmouth, Mass.). 



Concordias are well known in many harbors along the East Coast, partic- 

 ularly in New England. They are also seen in California occasionally and 

 on the Great Lakes. Some have been shipped to Europe and one sailed to 

 Portugal from the United States via Bermuda and the Azores. They have 

 a fine racing record. Among the Concordia yawls are a few which have 

 been slightly modified in hull form and rig and are called Concordia 41s. 

 There is no formal class association but I am sure from what I know of 

 Waldo Howland, President of Concordia Company, that he and his com- 

 pany serve as a very good substitute. 



"Concordia," says Mr. Howland, "has tried to furnish a first-class prod- 

 uct of lasting value rather than a boat which takes advantage of special 

 trends." 



Price now is about $30,000 and I am informed that used boats are seldom 

 offered for sale. 



VITAL statistics: L.O.A. 39'io"; waterline 28'6"; beam io'3"; 

 draft 5'8"; sail area 690 sq. ft.; displacement 18,000 lbs.; power, Gray 4-
