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.
