Her classic lines of the period at a time when Alfred Mylne was one of the most respected yacht designers in the world and with her Bermudian yawl rig, sloop headed on varnished masts and spars she is a real head turner.

The Island Class was originally built with a sloop-headed gaff yawl rig setting a high peaked gaff mainsail on a pole main mast, topsail on yard and club, gunter-rigged mizzen and jib to the end of the bowsprit

She has been in her present ownership since 1979, had a major refit in 1989 when the deck was replaced and other work.
