The Interlake is an American planing sailing dinghy that was designed by Francis Sweisguth in 1932, as a one-design racer and first built in 1933.[1][2][3]
The boat design was commissioned by the Sandusky Sailing Club. Sweisguth had already designed the Star keelboat and the Interlake was designed specifically for the conditions found on Lake Erie and in particular on Sandusky Bay.[1]
