  JOYFUL’s traditional Herreshoff-style cabin interior with dinette and separate nav station layout sleeps six.

  Her exploits include crossing the Atlantic to explore Scandinavia and the British isles, a year in the Caribbean exploring the Leeward and Windward Islands, completing the Marion-Bermuda race three times, and visiting almost every harbor from Virginia to Nova Scotia.  

Hand laid fiberglass hull and deck. Hull is cored with Airex for additional strength per weight. The core is deleted and the hull reinforced with additional laminations in all high-stress areas. Hull stringers cored with Airex are bonded to the hull and integrated with the mast step and engine mounts to form a single unit that is strong and light. Hull laminate is fabricated of unidirectional glass for a better strength per weight ratio. The deck is set in a 6” flange on the hull, then fiberglassed and bolted in place.
