Description

In the Classic Boat Magazine article about MISTY, Nic Compton writes that Cheverton the boat’s designer was torn between 2 eras; that MISTY has the increased beam of the later Dick Carter and Olin Stephens designs but not a total departure along this route. In our view this has meant her elegant sheer and overhangs reflect the beauty and charm of an earlier period in yacht design that was unaffected by the rating rules to come !

MISTY is a potential IRC class winner – her long overhangs and heavy displacement ensuring a favourable rating. The thorough rebuild and clever treatment in making her simple beautiful and easy to sail make this boat an extremely interesting prospect.

Meanwhile it’s fair to say that her current owner with a number of other boats in his possession would give serious consideration to a sensible offer on this one.

In the Classic Boat Magazine article about MISTY, Nic Compton writes that Cheverton the boat’s designer was torn between 2 eras; that MISTY has the increased beam of the later Dick Carter and Olin Stephens designs but not a total departure along this route.

History

David Chaverton designed MISTY for Franklin Ratsey-Woodroffe of Cowes sail makers Ratsey and Lapthorne in 1962 following the success some years earlier of the 35 ft DANEGELD. While aiming to scale up and take advantage of rating opportunities it is fair to say MISTY’s much heavier build and displacement achieved more in resilience and strength than speed. Notwithstanding she has performed in a number of races including two Fastnets finishing 15th in 1963 and 25th two years later. Round the Island she did better finishing 4th – and 3rd in class in 1962 and 2nd / 3rd in 1965. She also proved herself a fast and comfortable cruising yacht.

By 1970 she had moved to Dublin, later to Northern Ireland – then to Dundee ending up at Tayport Marina in a state of neglect, to be found by her current owner and restorer. Given his own racing background the owner was keen to take her back to the racing mode for which she had been designed.

MISTY has enjoyed a substantial restoration at the hands of A&R Way Boatbuilding at Lochgilphead; not only geographically convenient but notably experienced in classic yacht restoration. One of those was the Fife 8 Metre TRUANT and while in her case the brief was to remain as faithful as possible to the original, for MISTY they were to create virtually a new boat – but in the spirit of the old.
