1955 Ralph Wiley Wiley 39

This 1955 Ralph Wiley 39 is a wooden sailing yacht built with traditional construction methods. The hull features mahogany strip planking over oak frames, with the Cutts cold-molding technique applied during a rebuild. The deck is cedar plank with a fiberglass reinforced plastic overlay for durability and weather protection.

The boat is powered by a diesel engine and measures 39 feet in length. The wooden construction and modern reinforcement represent a blend of classic design with practical maintenance considerations for a yacht of this age.
