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.

The 39ft William Fife/ OM Watts Cutter, PEREGRINE, from 1936, taking a stroll down the Solent late last summer on her way to supper on the Beaulieu River…she’s very pure and uncomplicated, wholesome - even humble in her look … but aren’t those the special ones.. Modern yachts will take you there too, but wouldn’t you rather get there in this kind of style!?

LAK II is a beautiful yacht that in a sense carries in her timbers the story of France over the past 85 years. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/742/LAK%20II Born in a brief period of optimism between depression and war, and somehow a survivor of that war’s deprivations; designed by a young naval architect, André Mauric, whose genius would later become universally recognised; vibrant participant in the carefree post war years, and in France’s intense America’s Cup campaigns of the 1970s... But in the end, a wonderful yacht because André Mauric had that touch of technical and artistic flair that guarantees immortality. LAK II was given a new lease of life in 2007 that ensures another lifetime of pleasure giving. In current ownership in England she has been recently given a fully electric propulsion system and new sails, and won her class at the 2022 edition of British Classic Week.
