The designer of this boat, Robert Clark, was an English designer of yachts, contemporary architects such as Stephens and Giles; he was noted for having designed racing boats able to develop a good speed without sacrificing comfort. Of him projects like the Favona, winner in Fastnet Race of 1953 or the Gipsy Moth III winner of the 1960 solo transatlantic race skippered by Francis Chichester, at the time not yet awarded the title of Sir. Og him also the project of British Steel of Chay Blyth, who circumnavigated the globe surfing the 'wrong side', that is he sailed for most of the time upwind and solo. Clark began to emerge in the late thirties through boats as Ortac. He died in 1988.
