Alycone class - Design by M.F. Gunning

Post by davedeect »

I am trying to locate information on this design ca. 1949.

About 50 were built and Sir Percy Winn (Winnie) Harris sailed one out to Australia.

It was steel hulled. Alan Lucas in "Crusing in Tropical Waters and Coral"
mentions an adaptation of it would be the ideal boat for sailing coral waters.

Any references from Yachting Monthly, Yachting World etc. would be helpful and greatly appreciated
