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.

Na primeira vez que você entra numa barra, acontece uma coisa curiosa: você tá tenso (carta, sonar, correnteza, canal)… e ao mesmo tempo tá vivendo aquele momento raro de olhar em volta e sentir: “cara… eu tô aqui”. #SAL #HashtagSal #Veleiro #BarraDeRio #Navegação #VidaABordo #SegurançaNoMar
