Harpoon 62

Designed by C&C Design and built by Boston Whaler from 1979 to 1983, this compact 20-footer represents an interesting collaboration between a renowned yacht design firm and a builder famous for powerboats. With only 150 hulls produced during its four-year run, the Harpoon 62 remains a relatively uncommon sight on the water. The boat's fractional sloop rig and moderate sail area of 210 square feet make it well-suited for day sailing and weekend coastal cruising. Its fin keel configuration with transom-hung rudder provides responsive handling, while the 550-pound ballast ratio offers reasonable stability for a boat of this size. The hull speed of 5.33 knots reflects typical performance expectations for casual sailing rather than competitive racing. At 1,700 pounds displacement, this fiberglass boat strikes a balance between portability and seaworthiness. The comfort ratio of 9.58 suggests a relatively stiff ride in choppy conditions, typical of smaller, lighter vessels. With its 8-foot beam and moderate draft of 3.5 feet, the Harpoon 62 can access shallow waters while providing adequate interior volume for a compact cruiser. This boat appeals most to sailors seeking an affordable, manageable vessel for protected waters and near-coastal adventures.
