Pyramid International

Pyramid Boat Works (also referred to as Pyramid International in some contexts, though primarily known as Pyramid Boat Works) was a short-lived American sailboat manufacturer founded by Jack Sheldon in San Leandro, California, operating from the late 1970s to early 1980s. Specializing in custom and semi-custom fiberglass sailboats, the company focused on performance-oriented designs for coastal racing and cruising, producing a small number of innovative models before ceasing operations around 1983 due to economic pressures in the fiberglass boom era. Pyramid is best remembered for its lightweight, planning hulls and collaborations with designers like Lee Creekmore, emphasizing speed, simplicity, and build quality in a market dominated by larger yards. With only ~20–30 boats built across its lineup, Pyramid's output is rare and collectible today, appealing to vintage sailors on the West Coast.
