This boat is no longer for sale.
It is arguably the fastest rig in the river. Sprit conversion by Windward Boat Works. This is a very stiff hull and deck. When her skipper is not doing something stupid, this boat wins races against much smarter sailors.
Like most Johnson’s of this era, the boat is laminated with the closed cell equivalent of Corecell. (back then it was called Air-X) There is not a soft spot anywhere.

The team at Johnson Boat Works on White Bear Lake Minnesota used vacuum bagging and very thick gel coat. They were best scow builders and this boat’s condition is near perfect.
Rigging has been optimized for racing. Among the great features:
- Harken windward sheeting car
- carbon fiber sprit
- cunningham and boom vang run to mid cockpit, for use by crew or skipper
- bendy Melges aluminum spar
- board retraction performed from mid cockpit, for use by crew or skipper
Good North sails with a class legal, cut-down E-scow a-spin. Mooring cover in good condition covers the entire boat. Serviceable trailer that recently carried the boat to Indiana.
I am selling this boat so I can concentrate on my next conversion: a 1984. If interested, leave a comment below.
What a great boat! It is indeed one of the fastest boats on the river. Let’s keep it on the northern Potomac!!
Hello, You are building a scow fleet on the Potomac River near DC? Or? I-20’s? or? Thanks, Chad Attwood 443-995-6773
Hi- I had no idea there is a scow fleet around DC. I grew up racing m-20s in upstate NY and would be interested to join. I have a very old M in poor condition but would love to get back into racing.
Dont sell it… I just brought over an M16/// I live in Arlington
