Pen Duick (Half Model)

L: 90cm

B: 10cm

H: 30cm

Built in 1898 as “Yum”, she was designed as a racing yacht for the 20-rater class. Her first racing season was immediately quite successful: after a 4th place in her first regatta on June 17, 1899 at the Royal Corinthian Club, only 1st and 2nd places followed.

After numerous sales and name changes, Pen Duick came to Eric Tabarly. While this boat was laid up and continuously renovated, Eric Tabarly achieved worldwide fame on his other Pen Duicks. Pen Duick did not sail again until July 9, 1989.

Pen Duick’s 100th birthday in 1998 was celebrated in grand style in Brittany. Pen Duick was also expected in Fairlie, the workplace of her famous designer William Fife, for the occasion. On the way to Scotland, Eric Tabarly went overboard on the night of June 12 to 13, 1998 and drowned.

Since then, the “Association Eric Tabarly” has taken care of preserving the Pen Duicks.
