Harrison Butler

Local Harrison Butler design, I'm never quite sure but I presume the Z denotes the Zyclon design which was a 4 ton 22 foot sloop which the famous Doctor created for production manufacture from an earlier design for Captain O M Watts in the late 1930's.

These small HB boats just look so perfect and with the metacenric shelf hull projection apparently sail really well. Nice.

  1. Yes, the H. Butler boat with the unfortunate name (Think Germany WW). But a great little boat nevertheless.
