W.R. Murdoch 55 ft Steel Sloop 1946/2011

WYVERN II’s designer succeeded with that winning combination of easy sections and moderation in most aspects of her lines. The editor of “Yachting World” in 1950 wrote “...from every point of view she is a most successful design for she demonstrates the possibilities of steel construction in producing a yacht that is a most comfortable cruiser and at the same time sufficiently fast and weatherly to win offshore races in good company.” Between 2002 and 2011 WYVERN II was completely rebuilt from the keel up. This is a fast vintage yacht that is equipped and ready to cruise anywhere in comfort yet a look at her race record from 1947 might surely tempt a new owner to enter a regatta or two!
