THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA

Classic Boat

BUILT ON FAITH • More than a few sailors in recent years have wondered if we would ever see another new yacht by Holman or Buchanan. Little did they know that for almost 25 years, a new Holman cutter was already in build. Now, at last, she’s sailing

Tell Tales

REBEL RABBIT • Dick Carter’s 1965 Fastnet winning yacht Rabbit was a little fighter. Now she’s sailing again, much to his delight

Saleroom

Objects of desire

Racing for their lives • No one knew how to win a race like a fishing boat crew

THE ISSUE WITH SPEED • The smacks of the Thames Estuary are getting faster and faster. To ensure that they prosper, how do you balance speed against authenticity?

OUTSIDE THE BOX • The late American designer Phil Bolger is best known for his radical functionalism and rectilinear box boats. People often forget that his larger body of work was more traditional, like this mid-century American sport-fisher.

Restoring the past • Meet the man who restored so many yachts that they started a classics regatta in his name

HERRESHOFF’S LEGEND REIMAGINED • Yacht designer Chuck Paine has idolized Herreshoff’s 12.5 his whole life. Since retirement, he has been busy paying the design homage with three new variants for future generations…

The closest we ever came to taking the cup • Shamrock II was “the most dangerous antagonist ever encountered” according to the New York Tribune. So why didn’t she win?

GENTLEMEN WHO LUNCH • When you ship a pierhead jumper aboard your vessel, just remember – he might be sailing under false colours

Getting afloat

FRANCK ROY NEW CLASSICS

BLOCKS PULLING POWER • Blocks are one of the most visually important details to get right for the proper classic look. Which one is right for your boat?

BURSLEDON, HAMPSHIRE

VOLLENHOVE, NETHERLANDS

BRISTOL, UK

SEQUIM, WASHINGTON, USA

WOODBRIDGE, SUFFOLK

LIFE AFTER PELLEW • A year after Pellew’s launch, the yard is still thriving

Boatbuilder’s Notes

DRAWER BOTTOM PLANE

Letters • LETTER OF THE MONTH SUPPORTED BY OLD PULTENEY WHISKY

SAVE UP TO 32% OFF THE REGULAR PRICE

A steal? Or a false economy? • A bargain boat will probably end up costing more in the long run, says Chuck Paine
