Easy Glider and other sisterships

lthough it was Edward Heath that commissioned the design for the second , another 10 boats were built under licence to the same design, known as the S&S 41. Six of these were built, whose hull was built in Germany and then fitted out in Holland in 1972. She has been owned since 2016 by Piers Dibben, Olly Hughes and Andrew Perkins, who invited me to race with them on one day during Panerai British Classic Week in 2018. At the helm was Hamish Janson, an old sailing friend of Piers’s family.
