“The Accidental Designer”: new article in Seahorse Magazine

“The birth of Dick Carter Yacht Designer has a fairy tale quality to it. Winning the world’s most renowned ocean race, the Fastnet, with your first design, RABBIT. Then, being commissioned, even before that win, to create a One Tonner, TINA, and winning the One Ton Cup. With your second commission, OPTIMIST, winning the One Ton Cup again. Twice.”

Thank you Julien Everitt and Seahorse!

50 Years of TINA – Yachting Classique

Dick’s second design after RABBIT was TINA. Dick skippered TINA to win the 1966 One Ton Cup in Copenhagen. To celebrate 50 years of TINA, Yachting Classique magazine ran a cover story on her featuring the TINA sister ship PERSEPHONE (ex-ZEEHAAS, ex-GAZELA).
