Used Piper One-Design Sailboats for Sale

The Piper One-Design is a classic racing keelboat, renowned for its sleek lines and competitive performance, particularly in its native Scottish waters. Designed by the celebrated naval architect David Boyd, known for his work on the 1958 America's Cup challenger Sceptre, the Piper One-Design emerged as a popular choice for one-design racing on the Clyde. Produced from 1966 to 1981, with fiberglass hulls built by Halmatic and finished by Robertson and Sons Ltd., this 24-foot monohull embodies the heritage of "old school" racing keelboats, drawing inspiration from successful 6-meter designs. Many Piper One-Designs remain actively raced and cruised today, a testament to their enduring quality and appeal.
