8 Metre Classic

I've been passing this drop dead gorgeous classic, in a local yard, for a few months now. She looks like a scaled up Dragon class.

As well as brightly varnished planking which looks as like teak, her aluminium mast is polished to a mirror finish.

Some research on google suggests she is an 8 metre class - K36 built in 1939. She appears on the entry list of the 2007 Metre Centenary Regatta at the Royal Yacht Squadron (RYS) listing Earl of Cork & Orrery/David Glasgow as the owner.

    Had a double-take.
    This is much like the Rhodes 33 in my boatyard.

    From about the same time period, too.
