Guided by the Hall of Fame Standard, Sail America has selected 26 boats for induction into the American Sailboat Hall of Fame. These Hall of Fame boats are true American classics, exemplars of the extraordinary skill and ingenuity of American boat builders. They range in size from 8 to 41 feet. Several date to the dawn of the fiberglass era and are considered collector’s items; others are still in production, selling briskly. All have profoundly influenced the sport of sailing. By their sheer excellence, they have made sailing better. Selections for the Hall of Fame were made by a committee of magazine editors comprised of Bill Schanen, Sailing Magazine, chairman; John Burnham, Sailing World; and Charles Mason, SAIL.
