Based off the lines of a typical Chesapeake Bay fishing boat and controlled by a sprit rig, this translates to a design combination of utilitarian grace and safe stability under sail and oar.
The original design, the Windward 15, was made for the designer’s nephew to sail stretches of the Chesapeake Bay cruising by day and sleeping by night underneath a tarp erected over the boom, with ample storage for provisions provided under the weather decks. This particular vessel, a Windward 17 with two extra feet of room in the cockpit, was built by Mark Bayne of Sea Island Boat Works in 2006. A complete restoration followed in 2009, and again in 2018.
