From Old-time Workboats to Today’s Pleasure Craft
A Condensed History from the 1800’s through 2003
Compiled from Sloop Society Publications and Records and from the book Friendship Sloops written by Roger F. Duncan.
Editors: Bob Brooks and Al Zink
The Friendship Sloop Society Handbook was written in 1992 by membership chairmen Bob Brooks and Al Zink. It has been updated in 2022 to include changes in the Sloop Society history, sloop ownership, sloop name cross reference and other areas where appropriate
Updated: January 4, 2022
Evolved from the small centerboard sloop of the late 1800’s. Often built by owners during the winter and used inshore for lobstering and as a general purpose carriers for farm produce. By 1900 thirty to forty foot deep-draft sloops predominated and were used in the offshore fisheries and as carriers for fish and lobster processing plants.
Beginning about 1900 auxiliary motors were installed in sloops and by 1920 power boats doomed the sloops for commercial use. Many of the unused sloops were converted to party boats or modified for use by yachtsmen.
An accurate physical description of a Friendship is impossible due to variations introduced by builders. In general terms the craft is gaff rigged, has a clipper bow, a mast equal to the length on deck and stepped well forward, a full length keel and either inside or outside ballast. Newer sloops tend to have shorter spars, less beam and less sail area than older designs. Note that sloop lengths listed in this report are “on-deck” and do not include overhangs.
Early builders of Friendships were the Carters, Collamores, McLains, Priors and Morses, all Muscongus Bay residents. Builders of the 1920 to 1960 period include W. Scott Carter, Winfield and Douglas Lash of Friendship, Philip Nichols of Round Pond and Warren Gannett of Scituate.
