Built by Sanford boat Company., Inc. at the Richmond, CA yard of Sanford-Wood Marine, in 1984. FANCY was an R&D project that experimented with a number of new concepts; she was built from the inside-out. Her keel and centerline structure were built first, then her interior, her systems, and her deck. Finally her hull was built around it all.

FANCY is cold molded and her keel structure, made of 90-10 copper nickel, includes her engine beds, mast step and tankage.

Her performance is remarkable:  8 to 9   knots upwind in force 7--and with no spray. Furthermore she can be sailed singlehanded.

Today, 27 years later, she sails the waters of Brooklin, ME.
