          Work has started on recreating the world’s oldest one-design class yacht. Hubert Stagnol, the French boatbuilder with a yard based in Brittany, has already laid down the wood to build the first example of the class, which lacks a name, in 124 years.<\/p>\n

          The design was commissioned from GL Watson and Co by the Clyde Canoe and Lugsail Club and the first three were built in 1886, named Red<\/em>, White<\/em> and Blue<\/em>. Three more were ordered the following year, but it’s thought no more were built after that time, and it’s also thought that none of the originals survives.<\/p>\n

          It is, according to GL Watson, holders of the design to this day, an opportunity “to allow 21st<\/sup>-century sailors to gain first-hand experience of the origins of one-design sailing”. The drawings reveal that the origins of one-design sailing are a 19ft 2in (5.9m) LOA yacht with a 1ft overhang at the transom, 6ft (1.8m) beam and a sail area of 313sqft (29.1m2). A transom-hung rudder, long bowsprit, lug rig and low cuddy cabin complete the look.\u00a0 The boat is being built for a mystery client.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
