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 three-model sailing line designed to bring the company’s legendary "Unibond" construction—a foam-filled fiberglass sandwich—to the recreational sailing market. Designed by the esteemed firm C. Raymond Hunt Associates, the same naval architects responsible for the revolutionary deep-V hull of the original Whalers, the 5.2 was engineered to be an exceptionally safe, stable, and high-performance daysailer capable of handling conditions that would force other dinghies back to the dock.
