Mercury Class Design 296

The Mercury Class design was developed in 1939 as a junior sailing boat. They are well built by Cape Cod Shipbuilding or Wareham, Massachusetts. Early models were constructed of wood. Cape Cod Shipbuilding made the transition to fiberglass construction in 1948. A successful club boat, fleets were established from Maine to Florida. The boats are still in production today. We still receive the $2/boat royalty that was established in 1940.

You can still rent one in Boston, Massachusetts and Flushing, New York. They're great boats.

Here are the plans.


Here's an early brochure.
