The Force 50 is a strong, traditional seagoing ketch originally designed in the 1940's. Some people have called these boats "China Clippers". Many versions were developed into the 1960's as successful shoal draft cruisers. The technology of the 1970's brought about a re-design incorporating the advantages of fiberglass as a hull material while still retaining the wooden deck and traditional gleaming teak interior.
