Allied Seabreeze Yawl
Description
The Seabreeze Yawl (more commonly known as the Allied Seabreeze 35 Yawl or simply Allied Seabreeze yawl) is a classic American fiberglass cruiser-racer from the CCA (Cruising Club of America) era, designed by MacLear & Harris (Frank MacLear and Vincent Harris) in 1962. It was the second model produced by Allied Boat Company in Albany, New York, with production from 1963 to around 1972 (total ~135 hulls built across sloop and yawl rigs; only a handful lost over the decades). The yawl configuration was popular due to CCA rule quirks favoring a small mizzen for racing, and many were sold that way—though some can be rigged as sloops. This boat is renowned as a "worthy passage maker" despite its modest 34.5 ft size: seakindly, strong, spacious for its length, and capable of bluewater or coastal cruising (e.g., trans-Atlantic voyages, Bahamas runs, or Great Lakes adventures). It's often compared to Sparkman & Stephens' famous Finisterre yawl for its overhangs, centerboard versatility, and forgiving handling.
