ROBERT CLARK 39 FT MYSTERY CLASS SLOOP 1938/2001

CERESTE is such a perfect example of a state of the art late 1930s classic yacht that it's hard to believe the Mystery Class design was Robert Clark’s first, having served no apprenticeship with an established design office, or any training in yacht construction. Twelve were built just before and after the Second World War, with CERESTE one of the finest living examples following her extensive rebuild by Suffolk Yacht Harbour 1998-2001. In the ensuing years she’s been more racer than cruiser, with an enviable prize haul: competitive under both IRC and CIM without compromise to her beautifully proportioned sail plan. Her enticing accommodation, very easily handled rig, and the reputation for all round competence Robert Clark’s Mystery Class comes with, also guarantees that gentle or more ambitions cruising in CERESTE with family and friends will always give pleasure. With that added ingredient of the elegance afforded by a masterpiece.
