Possibly
Alan Buchanans' finest design, Vashti is a powerful, handy and well
balanced yacht, with graceful lines and counter. The original is still
being sailed hard and winning races today as she has done since her
launch. She can be seen regularly each season cruising and racing on the
UK south and east coasts, Holland and Ireland.
As far as we know there
are five of these lovely yachts still in commission. A few were built in
GRP but were not as successful on the racing circuit as the original.
