Berth 2
Type: 28' Water Bug?
Designer: Unknown
Builder: Uphams, Brixham
Year: 1939
We are still researching Night Wind's provenance. Her lines and handling
seem to point to the hand of
Dr. Thomas Harrisson Butler. Built at Uphams yard in 1939 it is thought
she became the protoype for the Water Bug credited to Kim Holman who took
over Uphams after the War. Whatever her story we are very happy we have
her, she is a pure joy to sail.

We have fitted her with the new Tacktick wireless instruments

Both William Fife III designed 8 Metre racing yachts. The Truant dates from 1910 and Ierne from 1914.
Members can apply to sail in the Duel of the Fifes , informal match races, re-enacting the epic battles of their heyday.
Not linked in any way to Classic Sailing Club but we like what they are doing so thought we'd give them a plug.
They have lovely boats at good prices in the most stunning sailing waters.
