A keenly priced period piece with some battle scars, but as willing as ever, MUSKETEER OF STUTTON is a fine and untouched example of the good job the Royal Ocean Racing Club’s Rule did in encouraging sensible offshore yachts with a very long shelf life beyond their initial competitive years. For almost 50 of her almost 60 years MUSKETEER has roamed the Atlantic and Mediterranean as a bona fide, well-mannered cruiser, while introducing countless novices to the joys of that. Much of her ability for such voyages stems from a snug rig and a thoroughly practical accommodation layout developed by the Camper & Nicholsons design team from bitter experience. But MUSKETEER hasn’t entirely abandoned her competitive ways: she was a class winner at 2017's 30th Anniversary Antigua Classic Regatta.
