The Brooklin Boat Yard designed and built Eggemoggin 47 Iris is very much a wolf in sheep’s clothing combining the classic elegance of yachting’s past with of today’s hot racing classes. Iris’s extremely lightweight and incredibly strong hull is a composite construction of strip-planking cedar sandwiched between inner and outer carbon fiber skins with an aggressive underwater profile of a fin/bulb keel and deep, balanced spade carbon fiber rudder. Her decks are built with lightness and strength in mind, but the eye sees only IRIS’s traditional laid teak, varnished brightwork and shining, polished stainless steel deck hardware.

Aloft Iris is powered by a generous (846 sq. ft.) sail plan set on a double-spreader, fractionally-rigged carbon fiber mast with lightweight PBO standing rigging and Harken roller-furling headstay, self-tacking jib and Leisure-Furl boom. Most halyards and sail control lines are led back to the cockpit making single or short-handed day sailing a breeze while the well laid-out cockpit and deck plan make for highly effective crew work when in racing mode.

As befits a “Modern Classic” Iris’s elegantly finished  interior spaces makes one think they have stepped back in time to the days of gentlemanly yachting and while primarily a day sailor IRIS is fitted out down below with a main saloon laid out for comfortable relaxation or afternoon nap out of the weather and a private “powder room” head space forward.

Built in 2013 Iris has been primarily used for a few summer months each year day sailing here in the coast of Maine and occasionally racing in local mixed fleets and classic Yacht events like the Eggemoggin Reach Regatta. When not being used Iris has been stored with some of the finest boat yards in downeast and midcoast Maine. Iris is in exceedingly good (near-new) condition with little (if any) work needed in order to be out on the water this season.
