Built during the early 1970s by Allied Boat Company, this substantial 40-footer represents the collaboration between designers George Owens and Robert Harris during an era when serious cruising sailboats were gaining prominence among American sailors. With its generous 17,000-pound displacement and traditional proportions, the Allied 39 embodies the solid, seaworthy characteristics that defined quality cruising boats of its generation. The design features a fin keel with rudder mounted on a skeg, providing good directional stability while maintaining reasonable maneuverability. Its masthead sloop rig carries 680 square feet of sail area, offering adequate power for its substantial displacement. The moderate comfort ratio of 35.68 suggests this boat prioritizes seaworthiness and interior space over pure performance, making it well-suited for coastal cruising and short-handed sailing. With a hull speed of 7.19 knots and conservative sail area-to-displacement ratio, the Allied 39 won't set any speed records but delivers the steady, predictable sailing characteristics valued by cruising sailors. The fiberglass construction and robust build quality typical of Allied boats means many examples from this short production run remain actively sailed today, testament to the enduring appeal of well-built traditional cruising designs.
