Lauren L. is an exquisite statement sailing yacht – years ahead of her time she is a blend of a
vision from one of the most successful building architects, Donald Gibbs, collaborating with the
brilliant sailing mind of Ron Holland. Donald Gibbs conceived a cruising sailboat and unleashed
a small fortune to develop and build (a five-year construction period) Lauren L. to his exacting
standards. At the time, Ron Holland was deeply immersed in the America’s Cup campaign as
hull designer for New Zealand. As a result of the tank testing Holland provided an innovative
new keel design.
A custom sailboat of 90’ is most practically built using the cold molding process. This is a time
consuming and exacting means of construction, resulting in a very fair hull form that is
incredibly strong – and without a mold to continue production the Lauren L. remains the only
one of her class and stands proud with an exceptional 20 year sailing career and remains a
graceful and sleek yacht with unlimited range.
