Sea Sprites are being sailed throughout the world, with the largest concentration in New England waters. Narragansett Bay and Buzzards Bay are prime waters for these classic yachts.  The series share their full keel, sea friendly design. The C. E. Ryder Company of Bristol, RI produced the last hull in 1986. There were over 800 built during the run of the series.  The class is still very active and they have an association web site  for more history and information on the design http://www.seasprites.com/
