Remarks

Andrew Wolstenholme's design brief was to create a good looking, easily driven yacht that would be a pleasure to handle, comfortable, yet swift. "Rebecca" was built by Roger Hodds and Maynard Wilson in timber with tradition in mind, borrowing heavily on the successes of the past but using modern techniques and materials. "Rebecca" uniquely combines all the comforts of a modern yacht together with all the style of a traditional wooden Broads River Cruiser Class yacht.
