Designed by renowned naval architect Carl Alberg in 1966, this compact cruiser exemplifies the traditional sailing qualities that made Alberg designs legendary among sailors seeking seaworthy pocket cruisers. Built by Sailstar Boats and later Bristol Yachts, the Corinthian 19 features the classic long keel configuration that Alberg favored, providing exceptional tracking ability and inherent stability. At 19.50 feet overall with a beam of 6.50 feet, this fiberglass sloop offers surprising interior volume while maintaining excellent sailing characteristics. The substantial displacement of 2,724 pounds, combined with 1,100 pounds of ballast, creates a stiff, confidence-inspiring platform ideal for coastal cruising and daysailing. Her fractional sloop rig carries 193 square feet of sail area, providing adequate power while remaining manageable for short-handed sailing. The boat's impressive comfort ratio of 21.73 and conservative capsize screening formula of 1.86 reflect Alberg's philosophy of prioritizing safety and seaworthiness over speed. With a theoretical hull speed of 5.10 knots, she's built for relaxed cruising rather than racing. The moderate 2.75-foot draft opens up shallow harbors and gunkholes, making her an excellent choice for exploring protected waters and enjoying weekend getaways with classic sailing yacht character.
