The South Coast One design (SCOD) originated from an idea of several members of the Island YC, Isle of Wight in 1954 to produce a One design which was reasonably priced to build, race and cruise. Charles Nicholson was approached to design a yacht and the result was the SCOD. Over 100 have been built from the first yacht in 1956 to the end of the wooden boat building period in the early 1970’s. The yachts were built by several yards around the Solent but Burnes SHipyard in Bosham became the leading builders with more than half the total class numbers comeing from their yard – 62 in total built between 1956 and 1967. Burnes boats were respected for their build quality and attention to detail and a Burnes SCOD is still considered amongst the best of the SCODs.   Length on deck                    26′ Lwl                                      21′ Beam                                  7’9″ Draft                                    5’4″ Thames Tonnage                6TM Displ tonnage                     4 tons approx Sail area                            288sq’   A nice example of the class, built by Burnes Shipyard, Bosham in 1963.
