Wylie Super 39
Description
The Wylie Super 39 is a performance-oriented racer/cruiser variant in the Wylie 38/39 family, designed by Thomas Wylie (often in collaboration with Charlie Kennedy) and licensed for production in the 1990s by Randle Yacht Corporation in British Columbia, Canada. It shares the same hull mold lineage as the earlier Wylie 38, Wylie 39 (built by Westerly Marine and others starting around 1984), and the later Wyliecat 39, with minor variations such as transom rake and interior volume; the "Super" designation appears to reflect a specific marketed version with updated or enhanced features for the Canadian market during that decade. The design emphasizes a light, fast hull form with powerful sail plan, fin keel with spade rudder, and fiberglass/Airex construction suitable for both racing and coastal/offshore cruising. Exact production quantity for the Super 39 specifically is not well documented and likely very limited (part of an overall family total of roughly 11 boats remembered by Tom Wylie across related 38/39 variants), making surviving examples rare
