Prospect of Whitby

This beautiful yacht was designed by Sparkman and Stephens and built in steel by Frans Maas in Holland.  Her steel decks are covered in teak and she has alloy spars with a very high aspect ratio.  "Prospect" has had a very successful career since being launched in April 1969, having been a member of the English Admiral's Cup team.  She won the Brittannia Cup, Morgan Cup, Queen Victoria Cup and 13 other trophies including Class Championship and Robert Somerset Trophy for the most outstanding yacht of 1969.  The overall and class trophies in this year's race are well within her grasp and she is also a member of the formidable English Southern Cross Cup team.
