The Candu ll sistership Howzat was restored a few years back when its original owner bought it back as a passion project. Added m/h kites etc. Only sails club handicap. Absolutely slaughtered us a couple of Wednesdays ago.

Bowsprit, center cockpit and great cabin - IOR?

I thinks so. I have asked for response from Markus Norlin (son of Peter) and Håkan Lindquist (Peter's co-worker). We will see what they say.

WTAF?

Miller and Whitworth 35. 3/4 Tonner. Red Amber. “With a few mods”.

That was probably a nice boat before the improvements.

35' was quite big for a 3/4 Tonner - I'd guess it has a pretty small rig.

Saved a box from water damage and found a 1978 "The Big Book of Sailing" with all sorts of gems in it.

Smaller sibling to Miller's Ceil II a 39 ft(some claim 40 ft) One Tonner. Photo of Ceil III below

This one likely had an OB rudder originally like most of Miller's designs in the Ton classes.
Like most boats designed for conditions for the Southern hemisphere, they were long and shorter on SA than ones you would find in North America.

They were sometimes described as a modern day "cods head - mackerel tail" design with relatively full bow sections. This made them low drag and fast off the wind, but sometimes suffered upwind in a seaway due to the bluff bow shape. Not certain why the keel and aft wings were added. Maybe a gawdawful attempt at an early days "foiler" - or IMO more likely an attempt to dampen pitching due to the full bow sections.

I think I've got a copy of that one around here somewhere. Have to see if I can find it, looks like a good one!
