Description

*Reduced* Mutineer of Shoreham is a beautiful example of a Let It Ride (a fast Canterbury Tales variant) by Kevin Driver.  As the design guide says, "they were sought after in their time and are rare, only nine were built.  All of these were raced hard, but were maintained by their initial owners regardless of cost. If still in good condition one of these should still be able to get to the very front of the fleet in the right hands."


Mutineer of Shoreham is in pristine condition.  It has not been raced as hard as it should - it needs to get out of the garage!  It was commissioned by Charlie Hadfield, in 1999, who very sadly passed away only a few years later.  I bought the boat in 2009.  I have sailed it very little, but I have tried to look after it well.

Charlie's spec for the boat was 'strong, light, fast and pretty.  Wood all best quality. Finish best quality, no compromise'..    To quote the Design Guide "beautifully constructed in wood" "equipped with a high specification rig"   ...and definitely "not put together with cost in mind."   A  massive investment in money, time and love went into this boat and it has been a pleasure owning, looking after, and sailing it ...a little,  not enough.

This boat needs to be sailed and shown off by someone who will love it.
