This twenty-six-foot sloop has really proven herself as an able and attractive small cruiser.
Reprinted from Rudder
The "Trade Winds" was designed to provide an able small cruising boat with good accommodations for two people and decent cockpit space for a larger party sailing daytimes. The clipper bow model was chosen not only because it is a good seagoing type, but because of late this attractive feature has been again coming into popularity and many small boat sailors have been asking for it. One of this model has been built, and having undergone many trials has proved herself all the designer expected. She is stiff, will carry her sail well and will plug along under power efficiently. The Trade Winds is not to be undertaken by the rank amateur, but anyone who really likes her can always take the plans to a boat builder for a quotation. She should be easy to construct and the specifications give all the necessary information.
