About the LAZY JACK SCHOONER

The first 32 LAZYJACK's were built by Ted Hermann in LI, NY (USA). Of these, a number were sold in kit form.

Sailpages Buyer's Take

Designed by Ted Brewer and built by Ted Hermann in the USA, the Lazy Jack Schooner is a rare 31.58 ft vessel with only 35 hulls constructed in 1972. This limited production run creates a unique market position for this heavy-displacement, full-keel schooner.

Best for:
This boat is best suited for conservative coastal cruisers and traditionalists who prioritize stability and comfort over speed, given its high comfort ratio of 31.15 and low sail area-to-displacement ratio of 16.22.
Bluewater capability:
With a displacement of 12500.0 lb, a low capsize ratio of 1.86, and a full/long keel, the boat possesses strong inherent stability and seakeeping abilities suitable for protected offshore passages.
Comparables:
Comparable boats include other Ted Brewer designs from the early 1970s, such as the Bristol 31 or the Cal 31, which share similar heavy displacement characteristics and full-keel hull forms.
