History of the Nevins Yard

History of the Ratsey & Lapthorn Sail Loft

In 1935, when the New York Yacht Club was looking for boats to replace the "Thirties" created by Herreshoff, their requirements included blue water seaworthiness in addition to grace and quickness. Olin Stephens submitted the winning design, and during the winter and spring of 1936, Henry B Nevins built 20 hulls in City Island, New York.  The design called for oak frames (1 5/8" on 8" centers), heavy Philippine mahogany planking, and a low, solid deck house, all without sacrificing speed or beauty. Originally priced at $11,000, the New York 32's have stood the test of time, with about two-thirds of the original fleet still sailing.
