Remarks:
Built by Seablade of Wadebridge to an original Herreshoff design of 1892, but using modern materials, this vessel has been named after the first owner of the original, Miss Winifred Sutton. She is as fast as she is elegant, and is a boat that will turn heads wherever she goes. She was the subject of a full report in the April 2000 edition of Classic Boat and the December/January 1999 edition of Traditional boats and Tall Ships. She was also featured at the 1999 Southampton Boat Show and has appeared on television. She is a truly superb vessel of a style and elegance not often seen these days.
