Lutine (yacht)
Yacht Lutine is the name given to all Lloyd's of London Yacht Club's (LLYC) sailing yachts, often with sail number GBR809
First Yacht Lutine (C&N 60')
A Laurent-Giles designed Bermudan yawl, built by Camper and Nicholsons in 1952, she is 58 ft length over all with a 8.5' draft.[1] Now renamed Lutine of Helford. In 2014 Lutine I was listed for sale with an asking price of £339,000; the listing describes her as having been found "derelict" in 1999 and having undergone a complete rebuild before relaunch in 2001. She was evidently restored to excellent condition, and sold within a few months.[2]
Second Yacht Lutine (Nic 55)
Ray Wall designed the Camper and Nicholsons 'Nic 55' which LLYC commissioned. Launched in 1970, she is a 53.8' Bermudan sloop, with 8.3' draft and displacing 23 tons.[3] Sold in 1999 and renamed Yacht Acclaim.
Acclaim was sold in August 2006 and taken to USA for an extensive rebuild and refit. Now renamed Eager with a 15 ft higher mast, it is back in the UK, believed to be on the Solent.[4]
Third Yacht Lutine (Swan)
A Germán Frers designed Nautor's Swan, 53' Length Over All, 8' draft, 22,000 lbs displacement sloop.[5]
Fourth Yacht Lutine (X-Yachts)
An X-Yachts designed X-55, 55' Length Over All, 10.5' draft sloop built in 2010 and purchased by the Lloyd's Yacht Club in 2014.[6]
