Description

Alan Buchanan’s designs of the 1950s and ‘60s are such renowned masterclasses in moderation, proportion, and sweetness of line, it's often forgotten that many were the hot racers of their day. Buchanan’s 37 ft ‘Vashti’ type is no exception, in fact something of a legend, harking back to a time when racing yachts could be safe, strong, exceptionally good looking, easy to handle by minimum crew, cosy and practical down below, and yet still fast. True cruiser-racers. Or is it racer-cruisers? All boxes ticked for LADY OF HAMFORD’s current owners who were not disappointed with their choice and have lavished ten years of care and sensitive upgrading to this mid-century gem of a handy-sized classic yacht.
