The Harpoon 5.2 represents a rare and fascinating chapter in the history of Boston Whaler, a builder predominantly synonymous with rugged, unsinkable powerboats. Introduced in 1976 and produced through 1983, the Harpoon 5.2 was the centerpiece of a threemodel sailing line designed to bring the company’s legendary "Unibond" construction—a foamfilled fiberglass sandwich—to the recreational sailing market. Designed by the esteemed firm C. Raymond Hunt Associates, the same naval architects responsible for the revolutionary deepV hull of the original Whalers, the 5.2 was engineered to be an exceptionally safe, stable, and highperformance daysailer capable of handling conditions that would force other dinghies back to the dock.
