The South Coast 21, frequently referred to in racing circles as the South Coast One Design (OD), was the inaugural vessel produced by Hollis Metcalf’s South Coast Seacraft Co. in 1965. Designed by the prolific Carl Alberg, the SC 21 was an exercise in bridging the gap between traditional aesthetics and the thenemergent fiberglass revolution. While Alberg initially proposed a fullkeeled, opencockpit design reminiscent of the Ensign, Metcalf insisted on a finkeeled configuration with a selfdraining cockpit to appeal to a more modern, performanceoriented demographic. This collaboration resulted in approximately 300 units built over a 14year production run, eventually serving as the architectural foundation for the company's most famous model, the South Coast 22.
