The Santana 252 represents a pivotal era for W.D. Schock, bridging the gap between highstrung racing machines and functional coastal cruisers. Designed by the legendary naval architect Gary Mull and introduced in the mid1970s, the 252 was an evolution of the original Santana 25. While the "2" designation denotes specific refinements in deck layout and interior volume, the hull remains a testament to Mull’s philosophy of creating "honest" boats—vessels that provide predictable handling without sacrificing the speed necessary for competitive PHRF (Performance Handicap Racing Fleet) racing. Built in Corona, California, these boats were designed to handle the choppy conditions of the San Pedro Channel while remaining light enough to excel in the lightair drifters common to the West Coast.
