Malabar Juniors evolved through several designs, number 271 in 1926 (four sisters built); number 326 in 1927 (five sisters built); number 599 in 1936 (eight sisters built); number 691 in 1939 (26 sisters built); and number 762 in 1946 (16 sisters built). From a simple workboat type, inexpensive design, much like the Friendship sloop, to a more expensive yachty type, with long ends, slacker bilges, with higher freeboard amidships.
