In the Classic Boat Magazine article about MISTY, Nic Compton writes that Cheverton the boat’s designer was torn between 2 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.
