The Harpoon 6.2 is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by C&C Design of Canada, as a racer and first built in 1979. [1] [2] [3]
The design was built by Boston Whaler in the United States between 1979 and 1983, with 150 boats completed, but it is now out of production. [1] [3] [4]
The Harpoon 6.2 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. The construction was fiberglass over a thick foam core for stiffness and which also renders the boat unsinkable. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel. It displaces 1,700 lb (771 kg) and carries 550 lb (249 kg) of ballast. [1] [3]
The boat has a draft of 3.50 ft (1.07 m) with the standard fin keel and is normally fitted with a small 2 to 4 hp (1 to 3 kW) outboard motor for docking and maneuvering. [1] [3]
The design has sleeping accommodation for two people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin. The galley is located on both sides just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a two-burner stove on the starboard side and a sink to port. An anchor locker is provided in the bow. Cabin headroom is 51 in (130 cm). [1] [3]
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker. [1] [3]
The design has a PHRF racing average handicap of 234 and a hull speed of 5.3 kn (9.8 km/h). [3]
In a 2010 review Steve Henkel wrote, "for a few years in the early 1980s, Boston Whaler went into she sailboat business, producing a '5.2' (17 feet long) and '6.2' ... Best features: The Harpoon 6.2 comes close to the best racing sailers among her comp[etitor]s, the Antrim 20 and the Mystic Mini-Ton 21, but we don't think she makes the grade in terms of beauty or grace. Worst features: A short waterline and relatively shallower and lighter ballast keeps her racing performance from equalling the Antrim or the Mini-Ton. Space below is equal to the roomy Antrim, but is not laid out as well—and includes only two berths, not four as with all her comp[etitor]s. Prices for used boats may be higher than what may seem rational, based on the hypnotic drawing power of the Boston Whaler name." [3]
