BROKERS COMMENTS Did yacht design change and the World with it in 1965 ? WHIRLAWAY is one of those yachts – and Holman one of those designers highlighting their achievement prior to that zenith year. WHIRLAWAY is sea kindly fast and beautiful. It was not to be long before yacht owners would be happy to settle for any one of these three qualities. WHIRLAWAY has a history and underlying beauty that has inspired her owners continuously to upgrade and enhance her – with significant refits since 1998. Given her top quality original construction by one of the best UK yards of the time she is now in superb condition and is undoubtedly more than a match for any un-refitted yacht even if such a beautiful example could be found. HISTORY The 42ft RORC Class III masthead sloop WHIRLAWAY OF PERCUIL (now just WHIRLAWAY) was launched in 1963, ready for the 1963 Fastnet, from Tucker Brown of Burnham-on-Crouch for R S Wilkins. The previous autumn Wilkins had sold WHIRLWIND, having raced her successfully, achieving fourteen flags out of eighteen starts in her first season alone. In designing WHIRLAWAY for him Kim Holman took the opportunity to build on the lessons he had learned from her predecessor. Broadly this translated into a longer, beamier and more comfortable yacht. In 1963, a contender for the victorious Admiral’s Cub Team, she only made reserve boat, as she was considered better suited to offshore conditions. She nevertheless went on to race competitively on the East Coast for many years and Yachting World lists her successes among those of such other illustrious names as BLOODHOUND, MYTH OF MALHAM, MUSKETEER, OUTLAW, LUTINE, NOREYEMA III and CLARION OF WIGHT, to name but a few.
