Description
The Paine 51 represents a sophisticated design from renowned American naval architect Chuck Paine of C.W. Paine Yacht Design, Inc., built by Able Marine Custom Yachts starting in 1995. This 51-foot cutter exemplifies Paine's philosophy of combining high performance with luxurious cruising comfort, featuring his signature design elements that have made Paine-designed yachts world-class masterpieces since 1974.

Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
