Description

Built from the finest of materials to a very high specification under Lloyd’s supervision, with design by one of the world’s then most successful high performance, record breaking powerboat designers, SHUTTLE has always been special; defying identification by knowledgeable boat spotters; entrancing with her practical good looks and layout. Owners over eight decades have attended well to her upkeep, and she’s been in class with Lloyd’s more than she’s been out of it. Through previous ownership by his father and grandfather the current owner has known SHUTTLE for over sixty years, and for the past twenty of them she’s been an easily operated family cruiser under a rig specially evolved for sailing by a couple of a certain age. The 1950s Camper & Nicholsons hollow spruce mainmast is carefully stored and can be reinstated.
