Dark Harbor 17 Racing Sloop | One of the most successful racing sloops. This classic design may be the oldest active racing sloop class in the U.S. Designed by B.B. Crowninshield in 1906, this boat’s continuing popularity lies in her sleek hull form and the ability to outsail many modern designs.

The Dark Harbor 17 Racing Sloop is a stunning and powerful vessel that has become a staple in the world of sailing. Designed in the early 1900s by naval architect Olin Stephens, the Dark Harbor 17 was created to be a competitive racer with a sleek and graceful design. Its distinctive lines and classic appearance make it a beautiful sight on the water, drawing admiration and awe from both sailors and spectators alike.

One of the most notable features of the Dark Harbor 17 is its long, narrow hull, which is designed to cut through the water with ease. This allows the sloop to reach high speeds and maneuver quickly, making it a top choice for competitive racing. The hull is also built with a deep keel and a heavy displacement, providing stability and balance in even the roughest of conditions.
