    General Description

    Aurora

    Designed by Francis S. Kinney during his tenure with Sparkman and Stephens and the last boat to be built by famed boat builder Seth Persson, Aurora is a well found, well maintained and handy sloop just the right size to be a lively and easy to handle day sailor while at the same time having the type of features and accommodations that allow for comfortable cruising.

    Aurora has benefitted greatly from a series of owners / stewards that have kept her in great shape. A 2022 Paul Haley (Capt. GW Full and Associates) survey found her to be in very good condition and wanting to keep up with his predecessor’s traditions her owner has attended to every item and suggestions made in the survey and continues to keep Aurora in the best of shape.
