Production
The design was initially built by Barney Lehman and then by his company PlastiGlass in the United States, starting in 1948. It was also built by W. D. Schock Corp, starting in 1956, after buying out PlasticGlass, but it is now out of production.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]
Design
The Lehman Interclub is a racing sailing dinghy, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a stayed catboat rig, a plumb stem and transom, a transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable daggerboard. It displaces 105 lb (48 kg).[1][2]
The boat has a draft of 3.00 ft (0.91 m) with the daggerboard extended and 4 in (10 cm) with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water, beaching or ground transportation on a trailer or car roof.[1][2]

Operational history
The design was used for a US-Mexico regatta that was held in Acapulco in February, 1952 and which included sponsorship from the Mexican government.[8]
The August 1963 issue of Motor Boating and Sailing noted that the boat was being "widely used for intercollegiate racing" on the American west coast at that time.[9]
