About the CRESTWIND
Peter Milne + Sears & Roebuck = ????????????. The drawing shown here can't possibly tell the story!
The Crestwind is a compact fractional sloop designed by Peter Milne and built by Sears & Roebuck & Co. in 1971. With a build count of ? hulls, this 13.94 ft LOA vessel represents a niche entry in the catalog of Sears & Roebuck sailboats.
- Best for:
- This boat is best suited for novice sailors or those with limited storage space, serving as a trailerable day sailor or a tender for larger vessels due to its 170.0 lb displacement and 1.97 ft max draft.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 3.6 and a comfort ratio of 2.31, the Crestwind is not designed for offshore passage making and is strictly limited to protected coastal waters.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include other 13-14 ft trailerable fractional sloops from the early 1970s, such as the O'Day 13 or similar Sears & Roebuck models, sharing similar fractional rig configurations and trailerable dimensions.
