Design 1674 C1 Sunward 48

Weve made mention of this design before. The original boat was named Toc Toc and was built of steel. The boat was eventually developed into a production fiberglass boat that was built and marketed by Marlow Yachts of Deer Park, New York and called the Marlow 48. This was around 1970. From there the molds were purchased by Bennett Brothers Yachts of Wilmington, North Carolina. The model was renamed the Sunward 48. What you see here pertains to the Sunward 48.

Here are the plans.


And here is the most famous of all Sunward 48 owners, Walter Cronkite, aboard his boat Wyntje.
