SPIRIT OF TRADITION UNDER 40FT KIONI (ELIZABETHAN 23)
Kioni is the much-loved Liz 23 extended by three
feet (1.2m) at the stern, given a mahogany cabin top
and interior (including beams) and chromed bronze
or polished stainless-steel fittings. She’s the work of
a one-man operation in Cork that re-designs and
remodels end-of-life GRP boats.

SPIRIT OF TRADITION OVER 40FT SPIRIT 46
The most popular Spirit and the hardest to catch on the racecourse, at least
downwind when she’ll plane at 18 knots. With looks inspired by the Metre
Yachts, she weighs just 4.5 tonnes, half of which is in the keel.
