Fleshed out 2026-07-06 (T2.1 batch 1). Specs verified against sailboatdata.com and Wikipedia; original stub had wrong builder (Whitby) and year (1965). Still needed: cover image. Cover image is a photo only, needs a wireframe/keel drawing (2026-07-11 upgrade pass could not retrieve a line drawing; sailboat.guide references one but Wayback 404s the derived asset).

Review notes

Fleshed out 2026-07-06 (T2.1 batch 1). Specs verified against sailboat.guide (Wayback) and Wikipedia, which agree on 3,500 lbs displacement / 1,300 lbs ballast; Baldwin's list said 4,300/1,500, not carried over. Beam corrected 7.5 to 8.0.

Review notes

Fleshed out 2026-07-06 (T2.1 batch 1). Specs verified against sailboat.guide (Wayback) and Wikipedia. Rig corrected to cutter (sloop variant), beam corrected 8.7 to 10.17, draft 3.5 per both sources (Baldwin's list said 3.0). Book displacement 7,100; builder stated actual closer to 8,500 (see Construction). Still needed: cover image.

Review notes

Fleshed out 2026-07-06 (T2.1 batch 1). Specs verified against goodoldboat.com saildata and Baldwin's list (8,400 lbs); sailboat.guide (Wayback) shows 8,650, not used. Beam corrected 9.0 to 9.17, draft 4.0 to 4.42. 174 built per sailboat.guide and Baldwin. Still needed: cover image.

Review notes

Image needed - line drawing preferred. Only ~82 hulls built, all centerboard configuration. Confirm LOA: ListingSport gives 38.25ft. Draft listed here is board-up (4.5ft); board-down is 10.3ft. Ballast is encapsulated lead at 9,000 lbs.

Review notes

Fleshed out 2026-07-06 (T2.1 batch 2). Specs verified against sailboat.guide (Wayback) and goodoldboat/sailboatdata search results. Number built conflicts: sailboat.guide says 123, a YachtWorld review says ~200; body says 'well over a hundred'. Ballast 3,500 (sailboat.guide + Baldwin); one review claimed ~2,600, not used. Still needed: cover image. Cover image is a photo only, needs a wireframe/keel drawing (2026-07-11 upgrade pass could not retrieve a line drawing; sailboat.guide references one but Wayback 404s the derived asset).

Review notes

Fleshed out 2026-07-06 (T2.1 batch 2). Specs verified against sailboat.guide (Wayback) and goodoldboat saildata. 189 built (both sources; Baldwin's list said 184). Beam corrected 7.5 to 8.0, draft 3.0 to 3.5. Still needed: cover image.

Review notes

Fleshed out 2026-07-06 (T2.1 batch 2). Specs verified against sailboat.guide (Wayback) and Baldwin's list, which agree (78 built, 1984-1988). Beam corrected 7.6 to 8.0, LOA 25.5 to 25.92. Still needed: cover image.

Review notes

Fleshed out 2026-07-06 (T2.1 batch 2). Specs verified against sailboat.guide (Wayback) and Baldwin's list. Number built conflicts: sailboat.guide 277, Baldwin 227; body says 'well over two hundred'. Beam corrected 8.1 to 8.42. Still needed: cover image. Cover image is a photo only, needs a wireframe/keel drawing (2026-07-11 upgrade pass could not retrieve a line drawing; sailboat.guide references one but Wayback 404s the derived asset).

Review notes

Fleshed out 2026-07-06 (T2.1 batch 2). Specs verified against sailboat.guide (Wayback, 30C page) and goodoldboat saildata. Rig corrected to cutter (30C, the common version) with ketch variant (30K); ~363-367 built 1976-1986. Still needed: cover image. Cover image is a photo only, needs a wireframe/keel drawing (2026-07-11 upgrade pass could not retrieve a line drawing; sailboat.guide references one but Wayback 404s the derived asset).

Review notes

Fleshed out 2026-07-08 (T2.1 batch 3). Corrected rig from sloop to ketch (sloop kept as rig_variants; Baldwin's notes say she was sold as either), added designer (L. Francis Herreshoff), added year_end 1967, added LWL 24.0 and sail_area 377. Beam corrected 8.9 to 8.75 to match Baldwin's figure. Dropped ballast_ratio (40.6) from the original stub: no ballast weight could be found in any source, so the figure had no traceable origin. Note: WebFetch was unavailable in this session (web.archive.org, sailboat.guide, goodoldboat.com, and even plain Wikipedia all returned 403/blocked), so specs were cross-checked using WebSearch-synthesized excerpts of sailboatdata.com and the Cheoy Lee Association site rather than direct fetches. Displacement: AtomVoyages/Baldwin says 10,100 lbs, an L-36.com rig-dimension page (sourced from sailboatdata) says 10,120; kept Baldwin's figure, difference is trivial and likely rounding. Cover image is a photo only, needs a wireframe/keel drawing (2026-07-11 upgrade pass could not retrieve a line drawing; sailboat.guide references one but Wayback 404s the derived asset).

Review notes

Fleshed out 2026-07-08 (T2.1 batch 3). Corrected year_start from 1965 to production run 1969-1978 (sailboatdata and Cheoy Lee Association agree). Added designer (Alfred E. Luders Jr., aka Bill Luders). Beam corrected 8.9 to 9.08 to match sailboatdata and Baldwin/AtomVoyages, which agree exactly. Ballast ratio recomputed 40.4 to 37.9 from Baldwin's own ballast figure (3,750 lbs / 9,900 lbs); the original 40.4 had no traceable source. Note: WebFetch was unavailable in this session (web.archive.org, sailboat.guide, goodoldboat.com, and plain Wikipedia all returned 403/blocked), so specs came from WebSearch-synthesized excerpts of sailboatdata.com and the Cheoy Lee Association site rather than direct fetches.

Review notes

Fleshed out 2026-07-08 (T2.1 batch 3). Sources disagree on which boat 'Cheoy Lee Offshore 26' even refers to: sailboatdata's page (via WebSearch excerpts) describes an earlier wood folkboat-variant built 1957-1961 designed by Tord Sunden (~5,500 lbs displacement, related to the Frisco Flyer/Pacific Clipper), while a second, fiberglass boat under the same name was introduced in 1969, possibly based on the Newell Cadet/Offshore 27. Baldwin's AtomVoyages figures (loa 25, lwl 20, beam 8, draft 3, displacement 6,100, ballast 2,240) match neither description exactly but are closer in displacement to the later FG boat, and our hull_material is already fiberglass, so this entry is treated as the 1969+ FG version; year_end is left blank because no source gives one. Corrected beam 7.5 to 8.0 and draft 3.5 to 3.0 to match Baldwin's figures; ballast_ratio recomputed from 42.6 to 36.7 using Baldwin's ballast figure of 2,240 lbs, since the original number had no traceable source. No designer is recorded because attribution is genuinely unclear between the two boats sharing this name. Baldwin's AtomVoyages entry for this boat has null notes/pluses/minuses, so there is no quote to seed the Buyers Notes section. WebFetch was unavailable this session (web.archive.org, sailboat.guide, goodoldboat.com, Wikipedia all blocked), so all cross-checking used WebSearch-synthesized excerpts of sailboatdata.com.

Review notes

Fleshed out 2026-07-08 (T2.1 batch 3). Corrected year_start from 1965 to 1972 (two sources: goodoldboat.com saildata and a general web summary of sailboatdata, both via WebSearch, agree the boat dates from the early-to-mid 1970s); year_end not set, sources only say 'through the late 1970s' without a firm date. Beam corrected 8.4 to 9.3 (two sources agree). Removed the 'full-keel' tag and added 'centerboard': this is a keel/centerboard boat with a board-up draft of 3'6", not a full-keeler, which the original stub's tags got wrong. Dropped ballast_ratio (40.0) from the original stub: no ballast weight was found in any source and AtomVoyages/Baldwin's entry has a null ballast field, so the figure had no traceable origin. Designer confirmed as Alfred E. (Bill) Luders Jr., matching Baldwin's note. Note: WebFetch was unavailable this session (web.archive.org, sailboat.guide, goodoldboat.com, Wikipedia all blocked), so all cross-checking used WebSearch-synthesized excerpts rather than direct page fetches.

Review notes

Fleshed out 2026-07-08 (T2.1 batch 3). Year_start corrected from 1965 to an estimated 1966 based on YachtWorld/Latitude38 sale listings for 1967 and 1968 hulls (marketed as 'Cheoy Lee Herreshoff 31 Offshore'); no source gives a firm start or end year, so year_end is left blank and the range is hedged in the text below. Beam corrected 9.2 to 8.83 to match Baldwin/AtomVoyages; draft and LOA already matched. Ballast ratio recomputed from 40.0 to 37.2 using Baldwin's ballast figure of 4,000 lbs. Added rig_variants: ketch, since the boat was sold as sloop, sloop with bowsprit, or ketch. No designer field set: the boat is marketed under the Herreshoff name (based on the Bermuda 30, itself derived from L. Francis Herreshoff's H-28) but at least one source states the actual drawings for the Offshore 31 originated in Cheoy Lee's own engineering office, not with Herreshoff directly, so attribution is hedged in the History section rather than asserted in frontmatter. Note: WebFetch was unavailable this session (web.archive.org, sailboat.guide, goodoldboat.com, Wikipedia all blocked), so all cross-checking used WebSearch-synthesized excerpts of sailboatdata.com, the Cheoy Lee Association site, and boat-sale listings rather than direct fetches.

Review notes

Fleshed out 2026-07-10 (T2.1 batch 4). Corrected year_start 1965 to 1963-1969 (production run, ~799 built), added designer, corrected beam 7.9 to 8.0 and ballast_ratio 40.4 to 44.2 (2,300 lb ballast on 5,200 lb displacement, both figures matched by Baldwin and sailboatdata). Sources disagree on the designer: goodoldboat.com credits McCurdy & Rhodes, one aggregated search result attributes the boat to Sparkman & Stephens; majority and the more specific citation favor McCurdy, hedged in the History section. WebFetch to sailboat.guide, goodoldboat.com and web.archive.org was blocked by network policy this session (403 on all three); specs cross-checked via WebSearch-synthesized excerpts of sailboatdata.com, goodoldboat.com and columbia-yachts.com per WORKPLAN's fallback allowance. No second source found for sail area; left unset rather than guess.

Review notes

Fleshed out 2026-07-10 (T2.1 batch 4). Corrected builder from 'Westerly Marine' (wrong; Westerly had no involvement) to Peter Webster Ltd. of Ropewalk Boat Yard, Lymington, and added designer Kim Holman, matched by two independent sources. Corrected beam 8.7 to 7.5 (Baldwin's own figure and a second web source both give 7'6"). Added lwl_ft (20.0, matched twice). Dropped the stub's ballast_ratio (39.8): Baldwin records no ballast figure for this boat and no second source was found, so the original number's origin could not be traced. year_end is a soft estimate; sources describe Elizabethan-class production generally running from the early 1960s to a mid-1970s mould sale, but no source gives a firm end year for the 29 specifically, hedged in the History section. WebFetch to sailboat.guide, goodoldboat.com and web.archive.org was blocked by network policy this session (403 on all three); specs cross-checked via WebSearch-synthesized excerpts of sailboatdata.com, the Elizabethan Owners Association site, and Yachting Monthly, per WORKPLAN's fallback allowance.

Review notes

Fleshed out 2026-07-10 (T2.1 batch 4). Corrected LOA from 34.0 to 31.5 (two sources agree at 31.5; the stub's 34 likely came from Baldwin's own list, which may be quoting a sparred length including the bowsprit rather than hull LOA). Corrected beam 10.2 to 9.0 and added lwl_ft 26.75, both matched twice. Sources disagree on displacement and ballast: Baldwin's list gives 13,500 lb displacement and 5,100 lb ballast, figures that match the later, heavier-rigged Mark II almost exactly (13,500 lb / 5,196 lb), while two independent web sources agree the original Golden Hind 31 displaces 11,600 lb on 4,100 lb ballast. Used the two-source original-model figures here and hedged the discrepancy in the History section; ballast_ratio computed from those (35.3%). year_end left unset: the boat was built in sequence by three different concerns (Hartwells in plywood, then Terry Erskine in GRP through the early 1980s, then Golden Hind Marine from 1995), and no single production end date applies to a base-model Golden Hind 31 as opposed to the later Mark II. WebFetch to sailboat.guide, goodoldboat.com and web.archive.org was blocked by network policy this session (403 on all three); specs cross-checked via WebSearch-synthesized excerpts of sailboatdata.com, goodoldboat.com, boatsector.com and the Wave Train sailing blog, per WORKPLAN's fallback allowance.

Review notes

Fleshed out 2026-07-10 (T2.1 batch 4). Corrected builder from 'Borge Jensen' (no source found for this name) to Klaus Baess, a Danish Olympic sailor turned builder, matched by three independent sources. Added designer Aage Utzon (father of Sydney Opera House architect Jorn Utzon). Corrected beam 8.4 to 8.17 (8'2", matched twice against Baldwin's own figure) and ballast_ratio 40.0 to 45.9 (3,900 lb ballast on 8,500 lb displacement, both matched exactly twice). Added lwl_ft (21.33) and sail_area_sqft (370), each matched by one web source; treated as reasonably reliable since displacement and beam from the same source matched Baldwin's figures exactly, but flagged as single-sourced. Sources disagree on year_end: Baldwin's list and one owners'-history page say production ran 1964/65 to 1980, when the moulds were reportedly destroyed, while sailboatdata and other aggregators give a last-built year of 1989; used the later, more commonly cited figure and hedged the conflict in the History section. WebFetch to sailboat.guide, goodoldboat.com and web.archive.org was blocked by network policy this session (403 on all three); specs cross-checked via WebSearch-synthesized excerpts of sailboatdata.com, sailboat-cruising.com and the Great Dane 28 owners' club site, per WORKPLAN's fallback allowance.

Review notes

Fleshed out 2026-07-10 (T2.1 batch 4). This entry catalogs the New Zealand-built fiberglass variant of Herreshoff's H-28, which Baldwin's list and one other source describe as substantially modified from the 1942 original; the two differ enough that they are effectively different boats sharing a name and a keel-hung-rudder full-keel profile. Corrected builder from generic 'Various' to Compass Yachts of Auckland, matched by two sources (Baldwin, classicsailboats.org). Corrected year_start/year_end from a single unsourced 1965 to 1970-1984 (production run of the fiberglass version, matched by two sources). Corrected ballast_ratio 41.1 to 54.1 (3,950 lb ballast on 7,300 lb displacement, both figures from Baldwin, no ballast figure found independently but displacement matches the stub and is corroborated as the fiberglass-specific number). Kept rig as sloop, matching one source's description of the Compass-built version as a 'masthead sloop rig,' but added rig_variants: ketch, since Herreshoff's original 1942 design and other builders' wood-hulled examples were built as a masthead ketch; this is a genuine rig difference between variants, not a stub error, hedged in the body. Sources disagree on production numbers (estimates range from about 100 to as many as 247 hulls); noted in the History section rather than picking one figure. Dropped sail area: the only figure found (343 sq ft) is for the original wood ketch design, not the fiberglass sloop variant catalogued here, and no fiberglass-specific figure was found. WebFetch to sailboat.guide, goodoldboat.com and web.archive.org was blocked by network policy this session (403 on all three); specs cross-checked via WebSearch-synthesized excerpts of classicsailboats.org and sailboatdata.com, per WORKPLAN's fallback allowance.

Review notes

Fleshed out 2026-07-18 (T2.1 batch 6). Original stub had builder wrong (said plain 'Islander Yachts' with no mention of the Wayfarer transition), year_start wrong (1965, actually 1968-1969, a two-year run), beam_ft wrong (8.7, actually 8.83), and ballast_ratio wrong (39.7, actually 32.1 computed from 2,500 lb ballast on 7,800 lb displacement, confirmed twice). Keel tag changed from full-keel to fin-keel: sailboatdata.com and sailboat.guide both classify the hull as Fin Keel, though Good Old Boat's saildata prose describes 'a full long keel... and a skeg-hung rudder' for the same boat. This is a genuine two-against-one database disagreement, hedged in the body.

Review notes

Fleshed out 2026-07-18 (T2.1 batch 6). Original stub had builder wrong ('Kaiser Fiberglass', actually Kaiser Yachts), year_start wrong (1965, actually 1968 per sailboatdata), beam_ft wrong (8.1, actually 7.83), and ballast_ratio wrong (40.3, actually 43.5 computed from 2,700 lb ballast on 6,200 lb displacement, matching Baldwin's own figures exactly). LOA is reported as 25.8ft hull length by both sailboatdata.com and sailboat.guide, versus the 27ft (or 27.5ft with bowsprit, per a Good Old Boat builder-page description) figure in Baldwin's list and the original stub; treated in the body as a bowsprit-length discrepancy rather than an error, since it is a common naming convention for boats of this era. Year_end left unset: only that 26 hulls were built, with no confirmed last-built year found; a WebSearch summary said Kaiser Yachts ceased production generally in the late 1970s, but that is the builder's overall closure, not a documented end date for this specific model, so it is not used as year_end. Cover image is a lines/sail-plan drawing from sailboatdata.com via a 2025 Wayback snapshot (the current site blocks direct fetches).

Review notes

Fleshed out 2026-07-12 (T2.1 batch 5). Corrected designer: the stub's Overview text credited 'Peter Brett' with no source found for that attribution; two independent sources (sailboatdata.com, goodoldboat.com) instead credit Raymond Wall, Camper & Nicholsons' chief sail designer, and the designer field (previously blank) is now set to him. Corrected beam from 9.3 to 10.2 (two sources cluster at 10.20-10.25, used the midpoint) and displacement from 14,750 to 13,005 (two sources agree closely). Corrected year_start from 1965 to 1976 and set year_end to 1980, with 119 hulls built (sailboatdata, goodoldboat and a general WebSearch of production records all agree on this window and count). One earlier WebSearch summary of the nicholson31.com design-history page suggested the boat evolved through four marks into the mid-1980s, but that claim was not corroborated by any of the three sources that independently agree on 1976-1980/119 built, so it was not adopted; noted here in case a future pass with direct access to that PDF can confirm or refute it. Added lwl_ft, sail_area_sqft (484, both sources' reported/calculated total). ballast_ratio recomputed to 36.9 from ~4,800 lb ballast on 13,005 lb displacement (was 40.0, untraceable). Kept the stub's full-keel tag; sailboatdata's 'Long keel w/trans. hung rudder' hull type and Baldwin's own plus point about the transom-hung rudder both confirm it. WebFetch to nicholson31.com failed on a certificate error this session; sailboatdata.com direct-fetch returned 403, so its spec page and the cover image were retrieved via curl through the Wayback im_ passthrough instead.

Review notes

Fleshed out 2026-07-12 (T2.1 batch 5). Important naming caveat: sailboatdata.com explicitly treats the fiberglass boat cataloged here as the INTERNATIONAL FOLKBOAT, a distinct entry from the NORDIC FOLKBOAT class, because the Nordic Folkboat class requires a clinker-built wooden hull while this fiberglass version, drawn by the same designer (Tord Sundén) to very similar lines, was 'designed for fiberglass construction' from the start and is not eligible for Nordic Folkboat class racing. Baldwin's own list entry is titled 'International (IF) or Nordic Folkboat 26,' i.e. he already conflates the two names; since this site's hull_material field is fiberglass and the stub slug says '26' (close to the IF's 25.83 ft LOA vs. the classic wooden Nordic Folkboat's shorter waterline), this entry is treated as the International Folkboat and the frontmatter/body describe that boat, with the naming overlap flagged here rather than silently resolved. Corrected beam from 7.5 to 7.17 (sailboatdata's primary spec table; one WebSearch summary gave 7.42 instead, a rounding/transcription discrepancy noted but not adopted since the raw sailboatdata HTML was read directly). Corrected displacement from 4,630 to 4,740 and ballast_ratio from 42.8 to 58.0 (2,750 lb ballast on 4,740 lb displacement, matched by two sources); the high ballast ratio matches Baldwin's own plus point about the boat's stability. Corrected draft from 3.92 to 3.97 (minor) and added lwl_ft, sail_area_sqft, designer. Corrected year_start from 1965 to 1967 and set year_end to 1984 (Baldwin's list and a second, independent source both give 1967-1984 for the main Marieholm production run; some IF hulls have continued in small numbers since, including a current German builder, but 1984 is documented as when the main Swedish production run ended, not a guess). Builder set to Marieholms Bruk, the primary Swedish builder, per sailboatdata; UK, Australian and (currently) German licensed builders are noted in the body rather than the builder field, which follows this site's convention of naming the principal builder. WebFetch worked directly to en.wikipedia.org this session for the wooden Nordic Folkboat background; sailboatdata.com direct-fetch returned 403, so its International Folkboat spec page and the cover image were retrieved via curl through the Wayback im_ passthrough instead.

Review notes

Fleshed out 2026-07-12 (T2.1 batch 5). Corrected beam from 7.6 to 8.0 (two sources agree exactly). Corrected draft from 3.5 to 3.7 and LOA from 25.3 to 25.58 (both matched by two sources). Kept the stub's displacement figure of 5,120 lb; it is corroborated by goodoldboat.com's saildata page, but sailboatdata.com's own hull-type page gives a noticeably different 5,700 lb displacement and 2,500 lb ballast, versus goodoldboat's 2,300 lb. Used the goodoldboat pairing (5,120 lb / 2,300 lb) since it is internally consistent with the stub's original figure and cited in two independent lookups; the sailboatdata discrepancy is flagged in the Construction section below rather than silently dropped. ballast_ratio recomputed to 44.9 from those figures (was 39.1, untraceable to any source). Added lwl_ft, sail_area_sqft (305, sailboatdata's 'reported' total), and designer. Corrected year_start from 1965 to 1962; year_end set to 1966 (sailboatdata and goodoldboat both agree; Wikipedia's Pearson Ariel article gives 1967 instead, a minor one-year discrepancy noted but not adopted since two sources outvote one). Confirmed hull type is full long keel with keel-hung rudder (sailboatdata's 'Long Keel' designation), not a fin-keel/spade-rudder boat as one WebSearch summary incorrectly suggested before the primary sailboatdata page text was read directly. WebFetch worked directly to en.wikipedia.org, goodoldboat.com and practical-sailor.com this session; sailboatdata.com direct-fetch returned 404/403 depending on the URL tried, so its text and the cover image were retrieved via curl through the Wayback im_ passthrough instead (curl reached web.archive.org fine in this sandbox even though the WebFetch tool could not).

Review notes

Fleshed out 2026-07-18 (T2.1 batch 6). Original stub had year_start wrong (1965, actually 1963-1967, confirmed exact from sailboatdata), beam_ft wrong (9.8, actually 9.25), and ballast_ratio wrong (39.8, actually 41.3 computed from 4,250 lb ballast on 10,300 lb displacement, matching Baldwin's figures exactly). Keel tag changed from full-keel to fin-keel: both sailboatdata.com and sailboat.guide classify the hull as Fin Keel, and a Practical Sailor review (via WebSearch) describes 'a fin keel with skeg-hung rudder' while also noting the boat is often colloquially called full-keeled because of its cutaway forefoot and generous overhangs, hedged in the body. Note: sailboatdata.com and sailboat.guide both list this design as 'Vanguard 33', apparently rounding the 32.58ft LOA up; this catalog keeps the established 'Pearson Vanguard 32' name to match the stub, Baldwin's list, and common usage.

Review notes

Fleshed out 2026-07-18 (T2.1 batch 6). Original stub had beam_ft wrong (9.8, actually 9.0), no designer or year_end. Year range 1958-1984 per sailboatdata.com (a WebSearch summary of other sources gives 1959-1985 and Baldwin's list says 'about 1960-84'; all three agree closely, sailboatdata's precise figures used). LOA is reported as 30.5ft hull length by both sailboatdata.com and sailboat.guide, versus the 32.5ft figure in Baldwin's list and the original stub; Good Old Boat's builder notes that 'a bowsprit was added to later models to increase sail area and reduce weather helm,' which plausibly accounts for the roughly 2ft difference, so this is treated as a production-variant difference rather than an error, noted in the body. Displacement is a genuine two-against-two disagreement: sailboatdata.com and sailboat.guide both report 12,000 lb, while Baldwin's list and the original stub both say 12,500 lb; this entry uses 12,000 lb (and the ballast ratio computed from it) and hedges the discrepancy in the body. Added rig_variants: ketch per Baldwin's note that ketch-rigged and pilothouse versions were also built alongside the standard sloop.

Review notes

Fleshed out 2026-07-18 (T2.1 batch 6). Original stub had builder wrong ('Dickerson', actually Danboats of Denmark, no source found for Dickerson), beam_ft wrong (9.5, actually 8.75), displacement wrong (9500, actually 11500), and ballast_ratio wrong (40.0, actually 32.6 computed from 3,750 lb ballast on 11,500 lb displacement, both figures matching Baldwin's list and sailboatdata.com exactly). Year range 1960-1965 per sailboatdata.com; Baldwin's list says 1961-65, a one-year discrepancy on the start year, noted in the body. Keel tag kept as full-keel: sailboatdata.com classifies the hull as 'Modified Full Keel' and Baldwin's list criteria requires full/modified-full keels of every boat on it, but sailboat.guide's spec table for this same boat says 'Fin', a genuine conflict noted in the body; majority (sailboatdata + Baldwin's list criteria) favors full-keel. IMAGE NOTE: photo only, needs a wireframe/keel drawing. All three image sources (sailboat.guide, sailboatdata.com, goodoldboat.com saildata) serve the identical archival photograph of the boat under spinnaker (confirmed by matching file hash across sailboat.guide and sailboatdata.com), mislabeled as a 'drawing' in the underlying file path on both sites; no genuine lines/profile drawing could be found for this design in any of the three primary sources, so the photo is used as the last resort per the image rule and flagged here for a later upgrade pass.

Review notes

Fleshed out 2026-07-19 (T2.1 batch 7). Original stub had builder wrong ('O'Day', actually first built by G. de Vries Lentsch Jr. of Amsterdam starting 1960, then by Seafarer Yachts of Huntington NY from 1965), year_start wrong (1965, actually 1960), loa_ft wrong (24.0, actually 24.75), beam_ft wrong (7.2, actually 7.00), draft_ft wrong (3.5, actually 3.25), and displacement/ballast_ratio wrong (5300/43.4 from Baldwin's rougher figures, actually 5070/49.1 per sailboatdata.com's spec table, confirmed by a Wikipedia entry carrying the same numbers). Year_end set to 1985, the confirmed closure year of Seafarer Yachts (the only builder still active late enough to have an end date); this is a representative figure for when the builder shut down, not a documented last-hull-built year for this specific model, which may well have stopped earlier in Seafarer's run.

Fleshed out 2026-07-19 (T2.1 batch 7). Original stub had builder wrong ('Ranger Yachts', actually de Visser shipyard of Holland, imported to the US by Seafarer Yachts), year_start wrong (1965, actually 1960), beam_ft wrong (8.4, actually 8.00), draft_ft wrong (3.5, actually 3.82), and displacement wrong (7200, actually 7965). Ballast_ratio recomputed from sailboatdata's figures (2,750 lb optional lead ballast on 7,965 lb displacement = 34.5 percent; standard ballast was 1,900 lb of iron, a lower 23.9 percent, so a buyer should confirm which ballast a given hull has). Keel tag changed from full-keel to fin-keel: both sailboatdata.com and sailboat.guide (mirroring the same underlying record) classify the hull as Fin Keel, though a WebSearch-derived Wikipedia summary describes 'a fixed modified long keel with a cutaway forefoot' for the same boat and Baldwin's list criteria call for full or modified-full keel; this is a genuine conflict, hedged in the body. Year_end of 1973 (roughly 200 units built) comes from a WebSearch synthesis of sourced text, not from sailboatdata.com's own spec table, which has no Last Built field for this model; flagged as the single-source figure it is.

Fleshed out 2026-07-19 (T2.1 batch 7). Original stub had builder wrong ('Columbia Yachts', actually C. E. Ryder of Bristol, Rhode Island), year_start wrong (1965, actually 1960), beam_ft wrong (8.1, actually 8.83), and ballast_ratio wrong (39.5, actually 42.1 computed from 3,200 lb ballast on 7,600 lb displacement per sailboatdata.com; James Baldwin's own list gives a conflicting 3,600 lb ballast figure for the same 7,600 lb displacement, which would be 47.4 percent, hedged in the body). Displacement itself matches the original stub and Baldwin's list exactly (7,600 lb), so that figure is treated as solid. Year range 1960-1985 confirmed by both sailboatdata.com and Wikipedia; goodoldboat.com's own prose description for this boat gives a conflicting, narrower '1974 to the early 1980s' window, a minority-of-one figure against the two agreeing sources, noted in the body rather than used.

Fleshed out 2026-07-19 (T2.1 batch 7). Original stub had builder wrong ('Edey & Duff', no source found for that attribution anywhere; actually C. E. Ryder of Bristol, Rhode Island, confirmed by both sailboatdata.com and goodoldboat.com), beam_ft wrong (9.0, actually 8.50), draft_ft wrong (4.0, actually 4.67), and ballast_ratio wrong (41.2, actually 40.0 computed from 3,400 lb ballast on 8,500 lb displacement, both figures matching Baldwin's list and sailboatdata.com exactly). Rig changed from sloop to cutter: both sailboatdata.com and goodoldboat.com's prose ('masthead cutter rig with twin forestays and a self-tending staysail') independently agree. Keel tag changed from full-keel to fin-keel: sailboatdata.com explicitly classifies the hull as 'Fin with rudder on skeg', and Baldwin's own note that this design has 'a shortened keel compared to the Southern Cross 31' corroborates a reduced, non-full keel shape even though it conflicts with the general full/modified-full-keel criteria stated for Baldwin's list; hedged in the body. Year_end set to 1982, a representative year within goodoldboat.com's stated 'primarily through the early 1980s' production window, not a documented last-hull-built year; sailboatdata.com itself gives only a first-built year (1978) with no last-built field.

Review notes

Fleshed out 2026-07-12 (T2.1 batch 5). Corrected hull configuration: the stub tagged this boat full-keel, but it is a keel/centerboard design (S&S design #1617), a genuine stub error corrected here per the same pattern batch 2 found on the Cape Dory 30. draft_ft is set to the board-down maximum (6.33 ft); board-up minimum is 3.17 ft, the figure Baldwin's list calls out as the boat's shoal-draft selling point. Corrected beam from 8.1 to 8.6 (three sources cluster between 8.58 and 8.63 ft; used the midpoint, difference small enough not to flag as a real discrepancy). Corrected year_start from 1965 to 1961 and added year_end 1980 (three sources agree: Douglass & McLeod built the first boats from 1961, W.D. Schock built 24 more for the West Coast 1964-1968, then Tartan Marine took over production through 1980; 712 hulls total). Corrected ballast_ratio from 39.2 (untraceable) to 32.4, computed from the widely corroborated 2,400 lb ballast on 7,400 lb displacement. Added lwl_ft, sail_area_sqft, designer, and rig_variants: yawl (an optional yawl rig was available; Robert Manry's famous 1967-68 Great Loop boat, Curlew, was a Tartan 27 yawl). WebFetch worked directly to goodoldboat.com, en.wikipedia.org and practical-sailor.com this session; sailboatdata.com direct-fetch returned 403 and web.archive.org direct-fetch failed for the WebFetch tool specifically (curl in the same sandbox reached it fine), so sailboatdata figures and the cover image were retrieved via curl through the Wayback passthrough instead.

Review notes

Fleshed out 2026-07-19 (T2.1 batch 7). Original stub had designer wrong ('Rob Perry', actually Robert B. Harris per both sailboatdata.com and James Baldwin's own AtomVoyages notes, which independently agree), year_start wrong (1965, actually 1983), and builder wrong ('Bluewater Boat', actually 'Vancouver 25 Yacht Co. Inc.' per sailboatdata.com's builder field; a WebSearch summary adds that the actual construction yard under contract was Victor Yacht Company of Kaohsiung, Taiwan, noted here as a single-source detail). Beam_ft corrected (7.5 to 8.5, matching both sailboatdata.com and Baldwin's own 8'6" figure exactly). Displacement (7,380 lb) matches the stub, Baldwin's list, and sailboatdata.com across all three, treated as solid. LOA is recorded here as 25.0 ft to match the model name, the original stub, and sailboatdata.com's own explicit note ('LOA: 25.0' without bowsprit and boomkin'); the same source's headline spec-table LOA of 29.0 ft includes the bowsprit and boomkin, noted in the body rather than used as the primary figure. Draft is a genuine two-source disagreement: sailboatdata.com says 4.00 ft, Baldwin's list says 3 ft; this entry uses sailboatdata's more precise figure and flags the conflict. Ballast is likewise disputed: sailboatdata.com gives 2,600 lb (35.2 percent ratio, used here), while Baldwin's list gives 3,000 lb (40.7 percent, matching the original stub's number); flagged rather than silently resolved. Year_end left unset: WebSearch sources agree the boat is long out of production and that only around 28 hulls were built (Harris himself is quoted as saying production stopped after about a dozen due to cost, other sources say up to 39-40), but no specific closure year for the builder was found anywhere, so no year_end is guessed.

Review notes

Fleshed out 2026-07-12 (T2.1 batch 5). Corrected hull configuration tag from full-keel to twin-keel: this is a genuine twin bilge-keel design with no central long keel, and Baldwin's own list entry says he made 'an exception to this list's modified full keel requirement' specifically to include it, so full-keel was a stub tagging error, not a variant. Corrected beam from 7.8 to 8.42 and displacement from 5,500 to 6,700 (two sources agree closely on both). Corrected year_start from 1965 to 1969 and added year_end 1980 (two sources agree: roughly 2,400-2,444 hulls built in that window, making this the best-selling British production sailboat of its size class). ballast_ratio recomputed to 41.8 from 2,800 lb ballast on 6,700 lb displacement (was 40.0, close but untraceable to a specific source). Added lwl_ft, sail_area_sqft, and designer (Laurent Giles & Partners, matched by two sources). WebFetch worked directly to en.wikipedia.org and spinsheet.com this session; sailboatdata.com direct-fetch returned 403, so its spec page and the cover image were retrieved via curl through the Wayback im_ passthrough instead.

Review notes

Book-list gap researched 2026-07-27. Corrects the book-list entry from the nonexistent Princess 38 to the Allied Princess 36 shown in the published table of contents. Practical Sailor, Good Old Boat, and Sailing Magazine agree on the core dimensions and model identity. A genuine model-specific sail plan was located in the PBase Allied Princess archive, but publication rights have not been verified. Keep the image empty until rights are cleared. Kept pending for final editorial review and passage-evidence scoring.

Review notes

Book-list gap researched 2026-07-27 from Cape Dory brochure material preserved by the owners association, its specification page, and the book contents. The association lists 546 square feet while a later Newport Shipyards brochure lists 561, so the earlier model-specific figure is used and the discrepancy is retained in source notes. A genuine builder drawing is visible in preserved Cape Dory brochure material, but publication rights have not been verified. Keep the image empty until rights are cleared. Kept pending for final editorial review and passage-evidence scoring.

Book-list gap researched 2026-07-27. Dufour's current history confirms more than 1,500 built. The Arpège owners association, Dufour Association, Sailing Magazine review, and specifications record establish the model, production period, and underbody. Sources disagree on working sail area, so 382 square feet from the measured rig triangles is used pending variant review. Genuine model-specific drawings were located through the Arpège community and period listings, but publication rights have not been verified. Keep the image empty until rights are cleared.

Book-list gap researched 2026-07-27. The Endeavour owners archive provides specifications, factory-manual material, design history, sail plans, and a contemporary 1980 sea trial. Its model-specific sail plan is the correct drawing type, but publication rights have not been verified. Keep the image empty until rights are cleared. Kept pending for final editorial review and passage-evidence scoring. The generic 580-square-foot standard-sloop sail area is used; optional tall-mast and bowsprit rigs differ.

Book-list gap researched 2026-07-27. Hallberg-Rassy retains the standard specification, a 2004 test, year-by-year improvement notes, rudder service guidance, and a factory comparison with the replacement 342.

Book-list gap researched 2026-07-27. The book chapter covers the related Morgan 382, 383, and 384. This record uses the original 382 as the entity and explains the later variants rather than blending their specifications. Practical Sailor and the Morgan 38 owners group provide independent research paths. Genuine model-specific drawings were located through the owners group and period material, but publication rights have not been verified. Keep the image empty until rights are cleared. Kept pending for final editorial review and passage-evidence scoring.

Review notes

Book-list gap researched 2026-07-27. The Tartan factory specification gives three keel configurations with different draft, displacement, and ballast.
