Half ton or Three Quarter Ton IOR Yacht????
I took this picture in the 1980's of this yacht in Lymington. The hull is new and had no name on it do you know if this is a Half Ton yacht or a Three Quarter Ton yacht and what design is she ???? Any idea's ???
I think this is actually a one tonner by the general proportions; best guess at the moment looking at the transom, foils etc is the German Frers designed Blazer of Paget/Blitz featured in the August blog, but not totally certain.

ReplyDeleteI believe that this is Local Hero IV. The boat is current sailed out Portishead as "Hero" and has been lightly modified.
ReplyDeleteBetter think she's a Ph. Briand design...(sistership Passion2?)
ReplyDeleteLooks like "Hero" - www.team-hero.co.uk
