The steel hulled junk rigged schooner – the Gazelle 42 – was American boat designer Thomas Colvin’s most successful vessel, great for coastal cruising or offshore passages.

This Gazelle 42 is a very safe and simple vessel, offered for sale in excellent condition by the original owner.  The boat was built professionally by Horizon Yachts in BC in 1990 using 10 gauge steel, with ½” steel in the keel sections.  The original plywood roof was removed, and rebuilt in steel to increase the safety & longevity of the vessel.  At the same time, extra ballast and 4” was added to the keel on recommendation from the designer.  The hull was recently repainted above and below the waterline, is rust free and ready to go.

The junk rig is a safe, secure and very easy to sail.  With full sail up, this unique vessel is very pretty and will turn heads.  The extendable bowsprit reduces the LOA and your marina fees, while providing plenty of power out on the water.  Wide side decks make moving fore and aft easy, and the solid lifelines and the center helm make this is an extremely safe vessel.  Plus with sleeping accommodations for up to 7, there is room for the whole family.  But perhaps best of all, this boat was repowered in 2018 with a brand new 28 hp Volvo Penta diesel engine with only 42 hours!!!

Design History & Description

From Wavetrain.net:

American shipwright and boat designer Thomas Colvin, who has long championed both metal construction and junk rigs on cruising sailboats, has designed about 300 small ships and boats over the course of a career that has now spanned about 70 years. He designed the original Gazelle for himself and his family to cruise aboard way back in 1967. The Gazelle has since proven to be both his most successful and perhaps most interesting creation, with over 700 sisterships launched to date.

The first Gazelle was conceived as a no-frills light-displacement boat that could function both as a shoal-draft coastal cruiser on Chesapeake Bay, where Colvin was based at the time, and as a bluewater cruiser. She was built of 10-gauge Corten steel. Her most distinctive feature was her schooner rig, which consisted of two Chinese junk sails mounted on lightly stayed aluminum masts with a Western-style triangular jib out front flying from a long bowsprit. She also carried a triangular “fisherman” sail between her masts or sometimes flew a loose-luffed reaching staysail from her main masthead.

By all accounts the first Gazelle sailed well, as is reflected in her performance ratios. She balanced well on all points of sail, her helm required little attention, except when running dead downwind, and she was reasonably fast. Colvin reported hitting speeds of around 9 knots sailing his boat. Thanks to her narrow beam, shoal draft, and generous sail plan, she also needed reefing early, which is easy to do on any junk-rigged vessel.

The interior lay-out is similar to those seen on modern center-cockpit boats, except there is no cockpit. Instead the helmsman is stationed on a flush-decked area between the main and aft cabins, directly abaft the mainmast and directly over the engine or cargo area.

The main cabin connects to the aft cabin below deck via the engine or cargo area, which has only stooping headroom. The main cabin does have full standing headroom and the forepeak has a narrow V-berth bisected by the keel-stepped foremast, which precludes installing a filler section to make the berth a double.
