ACCOMMODATIONS AND DESIGN
In the early 1930s Alfred Edward (Bill) Luders set out to scale down the then-modern International Rule Sloop, and the result is a compact 26 footer with a 16'4" waterline, a beam of 5'9" and a draft of 4'0". The narrow beam gives the the boat a distinctive profile rather than a voluminous one. A total of about 300 boats were built between 1933 - 1979 with fifteen built in 1934 to race at Fishers Island, New York. These boats are currently quite popular and have increased in value.
