EDSON B. SCHOCK 38 FT UNIVERSAL RULE R-CLASS SLOOP 1923/2010

During the Roaring Twenties, when the Universal Rule R-Class sloops were the thoroughbred racers of the US West Coast, ALOHA was the champion of San Diego in her early seasons. A century later, and very far from her original home waters, she has become well-known on the Mediterranean classic regatta circuit, not only for her looks - twice winning a prize for most elegant boat at the Saint-Tropez and Porquerolles regattas - but mostly for her performances. Restored in 2010 and regularly re-fitted since, ALOHA is a pure classic cruiser-racer: a winner under the CIM Rule with a convenient crew of four; a very pleasant day boat for up to six, or weekender for two.
