Design 1679 Sequoia II

Here's another of the motorsailer type. If you have looked through this blog site at all you will note there are quite a few designs of this specific kind. There are over 50 to be exact, from design #21, Tamerlane launched in 1933 through design #2725, Nazenin V launched in 2009.

This particular boat was built by Henry C. Grebe & Co. of Chicago, Illinois. She was launched in 1963. She is constructed in typical S&S fashion: double planked in mahogany over cedar with white oak framing and backbone and Everdur fasteners.

Propulsion is derived from twin G.M. marine diesels generating 85 hp each for a top speed under power of 10 knots. The boat was one of the first of its kind (at least as designed by this office) to have a fully integrated air conditioning and heating systems.

Here are the plans.
