Builder's Comments

We enjoyed building a really lovely 34' daysailing/cruising sloop designed by David Ryder-Turner. David has drawn exceptionally good looking yachts that have been very fast. His specialty is drawing yachts in the William Fife style, and he does this extremely well. As David has catalogued the Fife plans collection, he is a leading expert on Fife's designs. Fife was the Praxiteles of yacht designers. His yachts were very fast as well. This 34' sloop design is reminiscent of Fife's double-ended 50' EVENLODE built for Colin Ratsey and the lovely the 72' LATIFA.
