Those who restore classic yachts help maintain sailing history – from wooden schooners and meter boats to one-designs. Now, a more modern classic has been restored. George Radley Jr. of Cobh, Ireland, has owned the Ron Holland-designed IMP since the ’90s and has just done a major restoration of this famous 1970s IOR winner. Over the decades, the boat has kept her distinctive look with her topsides painted in a rainbow horizontal green bands going from light green to dark green at the waterline. Originally built for San Francisco sailor David Allen in 1977, the boat was a radical design that turned out to be a breakthrough on the IOR scene. Here is a video of IMP sailing off Cork, Ireland, with her new set of UK Sailmakers X-Drive carbon sails.

Nach kurzer Eingewöhnung klappen Wende und Halse beim Wingfoilen schon recht gut. Switch in die Wende hinein gefahren erinnert es doch schon etwas an die Ducktack im Windsurfen - alles nur 20 Jahre her ...

I'm helping a lovely couple sail their boat from Baltimore to Ft Lauderdale. It's their first long passage, and they asked me to mentor them along the way. There's nothing more comforting than having someone around to tell you that the seas are big, but they're normal or know how to quickly troubleshoot when something goes wrong. If you're looking for help on your first long passage or delivering a new boat to your home port, get in touch: https://sailingbritican.com/sailboat-delivery-assistance/ #learntosail #sailboatdelivery #boatdelivery #captainforhire #sailingadventure #sailingexperience
