“The Concordia Yawls were never made to fit any racing rules. They were made to fit the ocean.” So said Waldo Holland, who contributed to the famous 1938 design by Ray Hunt.
It’s true that no one rule was followed in the Concordia design, though Ray Hunt looked at the rules he found useful. Good racing is just a by-product of good design, according to Waldo Howland. “Yes, they are fast, and fast in a lot of different conditions, but that’s because they are a wholesome, seaworthy design and just a good little boat. I claim it’s much like a good apple pie: you can’t improve on it.”
The Concordia 39 yawls, first built 76 years ago in 1938, have cruised and raced themselves into the imagination and emotions of their owners to remain the biggest one-design of large boats in the world, with all but one of the 103 boats still in existence. The curvaceous spoon bow, sweet sheer on a slim hull accentuated by a midships tumblehome, yawl rig and sexy counter stern have led many good sailors to succumb to the Concordia charm over the years.

John joined Brooklin Boat Yard in 2004. Using his expertise and experience in used boat brokerage sales he established a successful used boat brokerage operation. Also, in 2004 John started the development of a racing program for the Brooklin Boat Yard built 76’ Spirit of Tradition Goshawk resulting in podium finishes in the 2005 Marblehead to Halifax Race, the 2006 Newport to Bermuda Race and equally impressive performances in classic yacht regattas here in Maine and Southern New England.
John continues to race in local mixed fleet races and Classic Yacht Regattas mostly on boats built by Brooklin Boat Yard and notably as “the world’s oldest bowman” on the Brooklin Boat Yard built Eggemoggin 47 Lynnette from 2013 to 2021 and occasional guest appearances on sister-ship Lark.
Today, John continues to manage and expand the brokerage operation but can just as likely be seen out in the yard or on the water helping the rigging and yard crews in the busy Spring and Fall launching and hauling seasons.
