Pinky 26 Foot Schooner
Description
The 26 ft Pinky Sailboat was designed by Tom Calvin, a small-craft designer known for adapting traditional New England workboat lines into seaworthy cruising yachts. The boats were built by Calvin Boats in the late 1960s and 1970s, typically constructed using cold-molded or strip-planked wood with epoxy sheathing, combining the strength and classic aesthetics of timber construction with modern waterproofing techniques. Production was limited — fewer than a dozen vessels were completed — each one slightly customized for the owner, preserving a handcrafted character that emphasized strength, seaworthiness, and aesthetic simplicity rooted in traditional pinky schooner heritage.

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. 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. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite. The information on this site is not guaranteed to be accurate.
