- I was looking for a friendly yacht for pen duick, for beautiful, sporty and elegant regattas - so I needed a 50 feet gaff cutter from the end of the 19th century, historic and why not with a pretty bird name - pen duick in Breton means "little black head" for the tern, the little seabird - I found it in Gosport, built by Camper and Nicholson in 1885 and designed by John Beavor-Webb - inspired by Bristol Channel pilot cutter, it was built for racing like Alain Gerbault's famous firecrest - the Englishes eat strange things and drive on the wrong side of the road but they know how to make the most beautiful yachts - I prepared it for same performances to Pen Duick, so that it is the sailors who win and not the boats - i'm happy to present you; " Partridge 1885 ",the world's oldest racing yacht and a very beautiful bird |
