Wooden Ships Comments on this Kim Holman Cruiser Racer
Designed by Kim Holman, design No. 75 and built by Moodys in 1965 to Lloyds 100A1. Thought to be one of 3 boats built to this design, they are known as pedigree cruiser racers, with a good turn of speed, comfortable windward performance and superb looks as the majority of Holmans boats possess.
Exhibited at Earls Court in 1965, she was voted Boat of the Show and went on to prove herself not only as a comfortable and easily managed cruising boat, but also a competitive yacht around the cans to this day. In 2015 she finished 4th in class in the Round the Island Race.
Bought by the present owners in 2016, a sailing charity specialising in using sailing yachts for rehabilitation, she was given a commercial coding licence and has been used for sail training around Cornwall for 2 seasons. Her MCA code of Practice is still in date and she comes complete with all the gear and equipment necessary for that licence.
A very fine pedigree yacht in nice condition with true class and provenance, a capable family cruising yacht but equally at home racing around the cans in classic regatta events.
