Design 1221 - Antilles

Here's another by Robert E. Derecktor of Mamaroneck, New York. She was constructed of wood and launched in 1958. Antilles was designed and built for Percy Chubb. Mr. Chubb was a repeat client. Click here to see his previous boat, Laughing Gull.

Antilles is a typical beamy S&S centerboarder designed for cruising. There are some interesting features such as the hidden head in the forward cabin with folding wash basin and the crew cabin aft complete with it's own toilet and heater. That aft little deckhouse in essence creates a center cockpit which is a nice and secure cockpit for cruising offshore.

The best thing that can be said about this boat is from the book Ocean Sailing Yachts: "In Percy Chubb's ketch Antilles, we twice made fast passages: the first was 920 miles in five days. We told everyone to mark that in the record book, she would never do it again. On the next trip we did 960 miles in five days."

Here are the plans.
