Designed and built for the Saint Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco. No expense was spared to create the perfect boat for Tom Blackaller to win the first international six meter World Cup in 1973 in Seattle. US-100 competed in the 1979 Worlds, in Seattle again, and the 1983 Worlds at Newport, California, with Gary Philbrick at the helm.
With its current owner David Linger, Saint Francis V has been an active participant at many Salish Sea races over the past decade, including Worlds in Vancouver, BC. Saint Francis V has also been many people’s introduction to the 6 meter class, with pickup crew as young as 12 taken under David’s wing during races.
Port Townsend shipwright Adam Henley has completed recent restoration work of the deck, sheer clamp, and frames.
