Lutine OF HELFORD, one of the most famous of English yachts was designed by Jack Laurent Giles for Lloyds Yacht Club and built by Camper and Nicholson in 1952. In the 1950s racing in America was highly competitive and Lloyds Yacht Club wanted a yacht to compete with the Americans on their terms. She was therefore designed to the CCA rules rather than RORC. Rebuilt for the 2001 America’s Cup Jubilee Regatta, she came 3rd in Class One and has since enjoyed several seasons of extensive cruising and racing.   With exceptionally sweet, very traditional lines – a relatively short bow overhang and well balanced counter stern, ample freeboard and the sheer renowned of her designer, she is a dry boat capable of putting in fast times even in a sea. Since her refit she has also proved to be very easily handled – regularly sailing two handed only, although racing with a full crew.
