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.

It's a little known fact that masts makers Southern Spars built one of the Kiwi America's Cup winning boats. Emirates Team New Zealand mechanical engineer Martin McElwee explains which boat brought the Cup to NZ and how the lessons learned in the production of America's Cup masts at Southern Spars flowed both ways and even into boat building.

La Vida Gypsea. Sailing and Travel. Excitement is an understatement. Not only are we launching our website this weekend, but we are also in full production mode on our YouTube 🎥 Channel. Our origin story is a little different than most. Just a little. 😉 You see, we already “left it all behind 5 years ago” for a new life. We have been living off grid on an island in Bocas Del Toro, Panamá. 🇵🇦 Now, we’re doing it all AGAIN. Downsizing AGAIN. Giving up a beautiful paradise to live full time on our Catamaran. We want to share our ups and downs we have experienced living this lifestyle and hopefully you all tag along to experience our new bucket list dreams on Gypsea as well. ❤️ #travelvlog #landandsea #liveabroad #liveaboardlifestyle #seafair #exploringtheworld #viajarporelmundo #gitana #bluewater #bluewatersailing
