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.
Muita gente só vê o pôr do sol e o drink na mão, mas a verdade é que viver a bordo é um eterno “coisas pra se fazer “ que nunca tem fim. Eu arrisco dizer: um barco dá muito mais trabalho que uma casa. Em terra, as coisas não tentam oxidar. É manutenção preventiva, limpeza constante e consertos que não podem esperar. É cansativo? Sim. Mas é o preço da nossa liberdade.” #vidaabordo #veleiro #mar #manutenção
