Comments: Virtually all the total 141 Allied Princesses built were unique, with much input during the build from the owner. They were blue water boats with several having completed circumnavigations. In the 1979 year, beginning with Hull # 127, Allied Princesses were built with a new interior which replaced the Formica (faux wood) bulkheads and trim with Teak wood. This upgrade was intended to upscale the interior from strictly utilitarian to a more “Corinthian” yacht design to differentiate from competing mass-produced boats of lesser blue water pedigree. Often the competition's focus on interior amenities was to the detriment of sailing qualities. 

This will be Gabriel’s 15th sailing season with the current owner. She is an exceptional sailing boat and can exceed her design hull speed (7.23 knots) quite easily. With all canvas flying we have seen sustained speeds of over 8 knots on a beam reach in a 20-knot breeze. She can beat at 7.5 knots in a spirited breeze. She does this with a steady 20* heel. Initially tender, she sets at a 15 to 20-degree heel and just goes, she does not round up! For a ketch with a full keel, she is surprisingly close winded and both main and mizzen draw well when close-hauled (many ketch designs are unable to carry their mizzen close-hauled). She can motor all day at 6.5 knots with a clean bottom and sip diesel fuel at ½ gal/hr. and she can punch thru heavy winds and chop with her powerful 52 hp diesel to get out of harm’s way. Gabriel’s not perfect, but she is a thing of almost living beauty under sail.
