David Cheverton 37 ft Sloop 1962/2015

In the Classic Boat Magazine article about MISTY, Nic Compton writes that Cheverton, the boat’s designer, was torn between two eras; that MISTY has the increased beam of the later Dick Carter and Olin Stephens designs but not a total departure along this route. In our view this has meant her elegant sheer and overhangs reflect the beauty and charm of an earlier period in yacht design that was unaffected by the rating rules to come! MISTY is a potential IRC class winner – her long overhangs and heavy displacement ensuring a favourable rating. The thorough rebuild and clever treatment in making her simple, beautiful and easy to sail make this boat an extremely interesting prospect. Sometimes owners want to move on and having made this decision they will now consider all realistic offers.
