Design 137 White Cloud


Heres a pretty 60er named White Cloud. Double click on the attached article from Yachting Magazine from 1937 to learn more about this design.


An interesting detail is the "flexible boom". I have not seen this on any other S&S boat other than Ranger. The boom is very thin and there are spreaders or vee struts port and starboard with a cable system and hand crank. The design allows one to induce curvature into the boom to match the shape of the sail.

Heres a stern shot of Ranger where you can see the system.

And heres a stern view of White Cloud which shows the same boom design at a smaller scale.
