Love & War

 

This classic timber sloop is one of the oldest boats in the fleet. She is a two-time overall (1974 and 1978) and multiple divisional winner, including top placing in the 20 Year Veteran Division of the 1994 50th anniversary race.

Peter Kurts, one of the oldest skippers at 80, and son Simon will campaign the magnificent Love & War and will be joined this year by well-known yachtsman Peter Shipway.
