For those of us who get the opportunity to race in the global classic
yacht circuit, new additions to the fleet are highly anticipated, even
in their design stages. Rockport Marine in mid-coast Maine has
developed a new design for SOPHIA, a 70-foot, high-performance sloop
that will be a competitive new addition to the spirit of tradition
class.
Her design was inspired by Sparkman & Stephens A-Class yawls
that have a long history of winning races. With traditional lines, a
cold-molded hull, carbon fiber spars and a modern sailplan, SOPHIA
will be a welcomed new competitor on the circuit.
