Design Maurice Griffi ths 1959. Built 2015 Star Yachts,

LOD 25ft (7.6m)

A surprising new-build, given the healthy used

market. But the owner loves Eventides and wanted a

perfect one at 25ft (24ft and 26ft are standard). With

1,000 built, this bermudan sloop is an emblem of

post-war Everyman yachting in Britain. Although ply,

she’s in this category as the build’s true to the design.
