Designed by Wellingtonian Alan Bryant, these are large and fast yachts and provide spectacular racing and amazing downwind speed in stronger winds. Members of the Wellington Club (WRYC) have developed these boats from scratch primarily with match racing in mind and many of the early yachts followed the colour schemes of one of the 1995 America's Cup yachts.They are now built exclusively club members and now have a rigid one-design set of rules, which are administered by the club.
Quite a few were built as display models, and many more for the various AC syndicates.
The boats are match raced and fleet raced in Wellington
