Notes:
The Solent One-Design was one of the earliest one design classes in Britain. Formed under the auspices of the Solent Sailing Club it was popular for many years (at least until 1905), and was patronized by the best known yachtsman around the the Solent, Portsmouth and Southampton waters.
LOA w/bowsprit = 41.5'/12.65m.
