Little Wing is SOLD
I started building Little Wing in August, 1995, and first launched her in July, 1998. She is 21' long (20' 8 5/8" actually, if memory serves) and rigged as a "cat ketch." Construction is exterior plywood with Xynole and epoxy over the bottom, topsides, deck and footwell. She was designed by Karl Stambaugh of Maryland, a stretch version of his Catbird 18.
Posing For The Camera Anchored For The Night Running From a Storm New projects, including a new, larger sailboat, mean it is time to put my beloved little yacht up for sale. Contact me to arrange a look. Little Wing is currently on her trailer, tarped over. But I'd be happy to show her off to anyone interested.
