Two-Forty #42

This traditional half-deck, gaff-rigged sloop has all the grace of favorite Bob Baker designs. In shape, her hull is typical of 1850's East Coast craft- clipper-bowed, with plenty of sheer. She will carry four to six adults. The smooth-plank construction Two-Forty was built by the Rockport Apprentice Shop (RAS), Rockport, Maine in 1985 and shown at the Wooden Boat Show.

"I had a good time with that one"

"In the late 1940's, Bob Baker of Westport, MA designed a small clipper-bowed sloop with the finesse of line and proportion that has always distinguished Baker Boats. The 20 footer is a classic and an elegant day sailer. The centerboard and outboard rudder suggest an afternoon of gunkholing...as well as reaching across the bay in a brisk summer sou'westerly."
