Design 238 6 Meter Djinn
We received the following comment from a blog follower: Isn't Design #238 the 6 meter the Henry S Morgan boat Djinn? This is true. Henry S. Morgan commissioned a 6-meter of the same name, shown here, as design 215 (see my posting of Wednesday, 26 January). She was built by Henry Nevins of City Island and launched in 1938. She was built alongside the 6-meter Goose. She is beautifully restored.
The term Djinn springs from mythical lore of Arab ancestry. I believe it was a creature that came from fire and could take any shape it so desired.
Here's the sail plan.
