BOOTHBAY HARBOR ONE DESIGN

Notes: Evolved from a number of designs in this size range sailed at Boothbay Harbo ME during the 1930's.\nRacing took place under a loose set of rules called the Boothbay Harbor Twenty-Foot Class.\n \nTHE BOOTHBAY HARBOR ONE DESIGN came about at the request of these interested in competing under a true one design rule to improve the fairness of racing and reduce costs. \nGaard Handel, originally from Germany, but a Maine resident, was a highly thought of designer who had worked on a number of Americas Cup defenders and had previously drawn a number of successful 20 footers of this type. \n\nA number of other designs or classes exist including: BOOTHBAY 20, CHRISTMAS COVE ONE DESIGN, GREAT LAKES 21, HODGDON 21, fall into a related but complex evolutionary path. \n\nBuilder of new boats as of (2005):\nChip Flanagan of Portland Maine\ntel.
