Britannia
Britannia - G.L. Watson & Co. Ltd. comments: https://www.glwatson.com - In April 1893, some 20 years into G. L. Watson’s trail blazing career, the royal sailing yacht Britannia was launched. The prestige associated with this order from the Price of Wales, Britannia’s revolutionary design, enduring beauty, speed and a 43 year career in the ownerships of King Edward VII and King George V have all contributed to the Britannia legend. - Sail Number: K1 - Type: Big-Class (gaff-rigged cutter) - LOA: 172’0″ / 52.42m (end of bowsprit to end of boom) - LOD: 121’6″ / 37.03m - LWL: - Beam: 23’7″ / 7.18m - Draft: 15’0” / 4.57m - Yard Number: 366 - Designer: George Lennox Watson - Design Number: - Original Owner: Prince Albert Edward, Prince of Wales - Year Launched: April 20th 1893 - Built By: D&W Henderson Shipyard Ltd - Hull Material: Wood - Gross Displacement: 221 tons - Ballast: - Sail Area: 10,328 ft² / 959.5 m2 (1893) - Status: Scuttled (July 10th, 1936)

Buzzards Bay 18
Buzzards Bay 18 - Class: Buzzards Bay 18 - Yet another design, of which no original example survives. Herreshoff designed the 18 in 1903, just a few years after the Buzzards Bay 15. She is 29’ on deck, 18’ on the waterline, displaces 4430 lbs, and has 472 square feet of sail. Similarly to the Belfast Lough One Design, the Buzzards Bay 18 captures the spirit of the “Big Boats” in a captivating way. She would be a good intermediate boat between the Buzzards Bay 15 and larger Buzzards Bay 25, and I would be tempted to lower the ballast keel and eliminate the centerboard in the same way Herreshoff did with the Buzzards Bay 15 when designing Flicker
