Comanche 100.

- Comanche, designed by Guillaume Verdier, and winner of the John H. Illingworth Trophy, for being the first across the finish line at Hobart. Illingworth was the creator of the Sydney-Hobart Ocean Race, which was established in 1945. He also won that race on Rani. As far as you can get from the 100-footer beast.



Note:  I worked for John Illingworth in the mid-sixties. You can check on this Blog: Mentors.

6 Metre 2025 World Championship.

                                                                                        SIX

 

The visual success of the 6 Metre World Championship, held by the Seawanhaka Corinthian  

Yacht-Club, Oyster Bay, made me think. 

- Excellent venue with a King and many of the Old Guard. 

As far as the boats are concerned. If a new excursion within the 6 M. Rules, so far has not been proved 

to work, the large fleet was interesting to watch. My Design follows my thoughts after observing the 

very well-done videos covering the racecourse,
