1979 Colvin Gazelle Gazelle

A 42-foot steel schooner designed by Tom Colvin with a distinctive junk rig. Built with 1/4-inch steel hull, she combines traditional schooner design with a rig system that simplifies sail handling and works well for short-handed sailing. The Yanmar diesel engine provides auxiliary power with an operating range of 260 to 350 nautical miles, though the design emphasizes efficient sailing over engine dependence.

The boat features a spacious deck layout and interior accommodations suited to extended cruising or extended time aboard. The junk rig reduces the frequency of sail adjustments, making the boat manageable with a small crew.

The hull and structural systems are reported to be well-maintained and ready for continued service. The boat has logged significant miles and carries a history of regular use in various cruising conditions.
