Sailboat Covers - Shields 2 products

In 1963 Cornelius Shields, one of the foremost proponents of one-design sailing in the U.S. conceived of a modern followup to the International One Design. The new boat would have the balance and beauty of the IOD while incorporating modern trends such as fiberglass construction. Shields commissioned none other than Olin Stephens for the design of the Shields one-design . Over 250 have been built and many are actively raced in fleets around the U.S.
