#5522--BUILDING GYPSY : A 24' Motor Sailor
by William D. Jackson, N.A.
"Gypsy" is a proven motor sailer that will outweather the best of the ordinary large or small cruisers. The original design was sailed some 6000 miles in all kinds of weather under all manner of conditions, and been out hundreds of miles from the coast line on the Gulf of Mexico and weathered blows that caused quite large boats to seek shelter. Over a period of six years the original design was tested and improvements made to make this sailer smarter and even more seaworthy. All of the good points of the original design were retained and everything that was learned and tabulated during its period of usage that would make operation and performance better was applied to this new and improved design.
