53 Sport Fisherman Design 357
This interesting design was designed in our "Boston Office" which was a short lived venture with K. Aage Nielsen in charge. She was designed in 1941 and built at the Quincy Adams Shipyard in Quincy, Massachusetts.
The boat, originally named Saga, was powered by twin GM 6-71s which produced 210hp each for a top speed of 12 knots.
Here is the general arrangement. Note the outside steering station which was no more than a box tacked on to the aft end of the deckhouse.
I like this fairly contemporary image. I can see it was signed by Olin Stephens, most likely at the owner's request.
