The postWorld War II era in American yachting saw a rapid transition from large, crewheavy racing machines to highly refined, manageable club racers. Among the most elegant specimens of this golden age of wood is the Quincy Adams 17, a 26.5foot fractional sloop built between 1946 and 1947 by the historic Quincy Adams Yacht Yard in Massachusetts. Despite its name suggesting a diminutive length, the "17" represents its design waterline length of 17.25 feet, while its long, elegant overhangs stretch the boat to an overall length of 26.5 feet. Commissioned as an elite day racer and coastal day boat for the competitive sailing fleets of the New England coast, the Quincy Adams 17 represents a pinnacle of traditional wooden craftsmanship and pure, unadulterated sailing performance.
