The Dark Harbor 17 1/2 is a 25 ft 10 in long class of sailboat designed by B.B.Crowninshield in 1908 as a daysailer and racer. The mainsail is gaff rigged, with a jib that attaches to the masthead and bow. The displacement hull has a full keel hull with lead ballast and classic lines. It has a 25 ft 10 in length overall and a waterline length of 17 1/2 ft. Original construction was caravel planking over steam bent frames, although boats can also be built with modern methods such as cold moulding or strip planking. Decks can be built traditionally or using plywood sheathed in fibreglass.
