The SS Class is an enduring testament to the design philosophy of Sparkman & Stephens, having been originally commissioned in 1935 as Design No. 133. Conceived as a robust trainer and family daysailer for the members of the Quissett Yacht Club, the boat was intended to bridge the gap between small dinghies and larger keelboats. At roughly 16.5 feet in length, it distinguishes itself from many other boats in its size category through its significant ballast and "big boat" feel. Often constructed with a cedar-over-oak frame in its original iterations, the class transitioned to fiberglass construction via Cape Cod Shipbuilding, which continues to provide parts and support for the fleet today. Its hull is characterized by a full keel with an integrated lead casting, a design choice that provides remarkable stability for a vessel of this scale.
