Description: The Mermaid of Carriacou is certainly the most famous 'island sloop' currently afloat in the Lesser Antilles. Mermaid of Carriacou was designed by British marine architect Sterling Burgess and built by Zepherine MacLaren at Windward, Carriacou, for American yachtsman and adventurer J. Lynton Rigg. She is 44 feet long with 13 feet of beam, and has a moderate draft. She is somewhat slab-sided - with sharp floors, extreme dead rise, and a graceful entry. She has a long, straight run aft. The design - especially when loaded with cargo and heeled by the Trades - is a sweet one.
