The Yachts

Kimwanda

 

One of our visitors from the U.S.A. this yacht is yawl rigged, of fibreglass construction and designed by W H Tripp.  She features a centreboard which gives her a maximum draft of 9 ft, 11 in., a design which is popular in the States but extremely rare here among racing yachts.  Her record in the American field is 68th out of 153 starters in the last Bermuda  Race and a list of firsts in her club racing with the New York Yacht Club.
