The Yachts

Shi Bui

 

Designed and built by Allan Wallis and launched in March, 1969, she will be the first ferro-cement yacht to take part in this race or, indeed, in any C.Y.C.A. race and her performance will be watched with interest.  Hull and deck are concrete, with mahogany cabin and spruce mast and spars.
