Thanks to Tony Petrulio for updated information on the QUINCY ADAMS. (His boat is pictured above).
According to him, 4 of these yachts still exist as of 2011.
Being one of the earliest boats built by the Vindo yard, the VINDO 30 was originally contructed of wood. Later versions have FG hulls with wood superstructure.
Shoal draft: 4.5’/1.37m
One of the first one-design boats specifically designed for plywood construction and built only in wood until 1952. Hulls since then are of fiberglass or wood.
Not to be confused with the CAPE COD MERCURY.
For the COLUMBIA 24, Glass Laminates took the ISLANDER 24 hull (which they built for Joe McGlasson), added a bit of free board, and created a new deck & coach roof similar to that of the COLUMBIA 29. So, the COLUMBIA 24, the COLUMBIA CONTENDER 24, and COLUMBIA CHALLENGER 24, all derive from McGlasson’s wooden CATALINA ISLANDER. The faux planking, that may have remained from the original hull, or created by other means, became an Islander trademark. (removed for the Columbia line.)
This hull design was ‘recycled’ (form original molds or ‘splashed’ copies) was offered from a number of other builders under many different names for many years.
