Wooden Ships Comments on this Racing Keel Boat
Designed by Dave Hollom, known for his involvement with the Americas Cup and the designer of some very successful International Fourteen’s and National Twelves. The boat was built by the present owner in 2013, constructed around a CNC cut jig for accuracy.
The boat has similar performance to a Flying Fifteen and will readily plane off the wind in 12 knots of breeze. She has been sailed on a reservoir since new and launched each time she is sailed so has not been left afloat and open to the elements.
She comes with a custom made galvanised road trailer and Bison electric outboard, plus 2 suits of sails so she is a complete package and ready to go sailing.

Beam 5’
