Used Lapworth 50 Sailboats for Sale

The Lapworth 50 stands as a testament to a specific era of performance cruising yacht design, combining the innovative naval architecture of C. William Lapworth with the robust construction of Cheoy Lee Shipyard. Conceived primarily as a fast, offshore racing yacht, notably for the challenging Transpacific Race, this double-ended, center-cockpit vessel also offered a surprisingly livable interior for extended cruising. With only a handful of examples ever built, the Lapworth 50 holds a unique place in sailing history as a sleek, performance-oriented monohull designed for speed and blue-water capability.
