An older class with a lot of potential is the International 210. A small isolated fleet at Gibson Island Maryland has made some minor changes to these excellent boats to suit them. This ambitious fellow though has gone much further. Starting with an older wood hull, he added a deeper carbon keel strut/ bulb, spade rudder in a cassette, a taller square topped rig with carbon spar, wider side decks and new cockpit interior.
We sailed it today and it is a lovely sailing boat with substantially better speed that a class 210 - although not quite as much as you'd think for a 1946 design. What would Ray Hunt think? An interesting mix of new and old that would blow the doors of an Etchells any day.
