Boat plans

Gesture Design 381

This very simple sloop was built by the Quincy Adams Yacht Yard and launched in 1941. Note how simple her rig is: fractional and no jumper stays. The mast was originally designed in aluminum but after trouble obtaining the spar a wooden mast was built.

The design brief called for a yacht that could withstand any conditions. She is heavily built with Monel web frames (around the mast) and mast step.

Here are the plans.
