HELEN is the first in a remarkable triptych of late 1930s 3rd International Rule 8-Metres drawn by experienced designer to the Rule and Olympic gold medal winning helmsman Sir Thomas Glen-Coats; built on the Clyde in consecutive years at the Mylne family’s Bute Slip Dock Co. yard, where Glen-Coats was a director and major backer. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/765/HELEN They were among the last full keel 8mRs built in Britain and represent the pinnacle of truly classic 8-Metre design. At the end of her initial class-racing days, conversion by her original builder to an able, and of course fast, cruiser-racer kept HELEN very much alive, so that when the 8-Metre Class revival began in the early 2000s, she was a natural subject for restoration and application of the subtle authenticity and performance treatments allowed under the Sira Cup World Championship Rules for boats built before 1960. HELEN is very well equipped and optimised to be competitive at the next major 8mR championship and simply to be enjoyed as a supremely elegant and fleet of foot day/ weekend racer-cruiser.

Examining the crucial element often overlooked in trawler design: effective stabilization at cruising RPMs. We detail why standard fin sizing fails to deliver the expected roll reduction for the typical 10-knot journey. By implementing significantly upscaled fins—like the 9-foot square units here—we achieve near-total roll elimination across all operational speeds, accepting a negligible impact on absolute top-end performance. This commitment to passenger comfort, evident across all our builds, prioritizes real-world usability over theoretical maximum speed figures. This is the foundation of superior long-range cruising aboard the Northwest 55. #Northwest55 #ExpeditionTrawler #YachtTour #LuxuryYacht #YachtLens #SeattleBoatShow #TrawlerLife #LongRangeCruising #SeattleYachts #trawler #yacht #boat #stabilization #maritime #technology #yacht #design #roll #reduction #wave #smart #boat #review #cruising #comfort #northwest #yachts
