Wooden Ships Comments on this West Solent One Design W7
West Solent One Design built by Berthons Boat Co. In 1931.
She carries the number W7, however the original W7 which was also called Dilkusha, was built in 1924 for Lt. Colonel H.C. Guest. He then decided to have a new boat built in 1931, but wanted to keep the name and number so this yacht has become W7.
The class was designed by H. Jacobs and H.G. May of Berthons as a cost effective cruiser racer for the Royal Lymington Yacht Club. At the time a new W class could be bought for £600, a similar 6 meter yacht would have cost £1500 so they were well received. A total of 32 boats were built for the UK market, 5 built and shipped to Argentina and one built under licence in Bombay. The design was adopted by the Royal Burnham Yacht Club where it was known as the Royal Burnham Restricted Class.
The WSOD, also known as the W class, has seen a huge resurgence in recent years with a number of original boats given professional rebuilds, as well as one or two new examples being built. They are superb boats with exceptionally beautiful lines and have proven to be excellent classic regatta boats that only need a small crew and are still very competitive.
This is a very cost effective boat with which to take part in the big classic regattas and race amongst the finest classic yachts in the world while possibly having even more fun than those owners.
Betweenshe underwent a major professional refit in the previous ownership, in which the hull was repaired, keel bolts replaced, new deck laid, complete new rig and spars fitted and a new interior. Al this work was well documented and done to a very high standard.
The current owner became custodian of a superb yacht in very nice condition, and has simply maintained her with professional help to keep the boat looking smart and in sound condition.
