New Boat Test
Whitehawk:
Happy 40th Birthday – You’ve Never Looked Better!
We recently tested the 105’ (32 m) ketch Whitehawk, an all-wood boat that is a classic in more ways than one. Her design was inspired by the famous 1936 L. Francis Herreshoff racing sailboat Ticonderoga, but she is much bigger, faster, and more luxurious. Some reports about Whitehawk say that her top speed under sail is 10 knots, but we managed 11.3 knots easily, on occasion, sailing her from Antigua to St. Lucia. Everything about Whitehawk harks back to the golden age of yachting when brightwork and polished brass were the signs of a well-found vessel, and that is certainly the case of Whitehawk. She is celebrating her 40th birthday this year, but she is undoubtedly better than new. We’ll tell you why.
