The Irwin 39 Citation represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of Irwin Yachts, transitioning from the heavy, center-cockpit cruisers that defined the brand’s commercial success toward a more performance-oriented, aft-cockpit configuration. Introduced in the late 1970s and produced through the mid-1980s, the 39 Citation was designed by Ted Irwin to satisfy sailors who demanded more "zip" on the race course without sacrificing the "livability" that became the company's trademark. Unlike the more ponderous Irwin 52, the 39 Citation features a sleek profile, a flatter underbody, and a contemporary T-shaped cockpit designed for efficient sail handling and visibility.
