Built for the US Naval Academy by Luders Marine Construction. (AKA NAVAL ACADEMY YAWL/NA 44) Originally of wood planked construction (1939). Replaced with a fiberglass version (by Uniflite) in 1963 with a slightly different hull/rig design and different interior layout. (4 went to the US Coast Guard)
A few of the FG version were sold to individuals as sloops/cutters. (See ANNAPOLIS 44). Naval Academy boats were passed on to the US Coast Guard Academy for a few years before being sold off to individuals.
(Replaced in 1985 with the NAVY 44/DEFIANCE CLASS by McGurdy & Rhodes and again, in 2000, with a Dave Pedrick designed 44 footer.)
The layout shown here is for the original wood version.
Thanks to Mainbrace 76, and several others for providing additional background information.
Specs above are for the fiberglass version
See LUDERS 44 for specs on the wood (1939) version.

Olympic class between 1908-1952 when it was replaced by the International 5.5 Meter.
Dimensions are approximate since this is a development class, originally built to the International rule.
400 are thought to still be in existence with about 300 still in racing condition.

Keel/CB version was also available.

This is probably the first version of the TYPOON DAYSAILER, built by Naugus Fiberglass. (pre-Cape Dory and which we have labeled NAUGUS)
It has an open cockpit and no cabin or cuddy seen on the later versions built under the Cape Cory label.
The image here is from the sales literature and we know that at least one was built.
