This is the classic boat of choice for the single-handed long distance sailor.
Yachting Monthly gave the Vertue 3rd place in its Top 100 Best Boats of the 20th Century. They enthused that:
"Laurent Giles 26 foot classic has proved to be one of the most seaworthy small designs ever built... and her rugged profile is instantly recognisable 70 years after it was drawn."
Bossoms Boatyard has the exclusive rights to build the GRP version of this classic long keel ocean sailing yacht, which is designed and constructed for serious and short handed ocean voyages.
