Presented by interior designer Jonty Sherwill: The traditional sloop revisited with comments by her designer Stephen Jones: Spirit of Tradition cruising and racing is a popular theatre of yachting today and by introducing a new approach into this arena may elicit some surprise that a yacht in this form has not been created until now. The design of this 66 footer (20.0m) evokes the 'Metre Boat' style with sleek proportions and long overhangs and for modern sailing style has a light displacement to length ratio and is driven by a non-overlap carbon rig for ease of handling. The same concept is applicable for yachts 45 to 70 feet overall length with appropriate interior layouts.
