Fred Parker Classic Ketch

AUTUM BREEZE was designed by Fred Parker as a fast cruiser and she does turn heads wherever she goes.

Fred Parker belongs to that great generation of yacht designers who served their apprenticeship before the war. After 1945, he established a solid reputation for sail and motor craft - both racing and cruising. He became Moody's favoured naval architect during the 1950's and 1960's and designed more than 30 individual yachts.

AUTUM BREEZE was created in a fascinating moment in time in yacht design that may never have been better. Unique and timeless, to Lloyd's Standard 100A1. She is a pleasant, contemporary classic sailing yacht. A legend in cruising and regatta clubs. She has always been well maintained and her fantastic sailing ability have led to several awards. Couples have voyaged extensively in her, admiring the attention she gets. She enjoyed being dubbed 'prettiest boat in English Harbour, Antigua'.

Exterior

AUTUM BREEZE is a beauty! She won the Boat International Concours d'Elegance of the Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta in 2006.

This pleasant, contemporary classic sailing yacht is easily sailed by two people and fun for when you want a crowd aboard. She offers speedy passage times and has delightful sailing manners.

The original owner pot hunted with success, lately she was mainly used for cruising. She underwent a major refit in 1992 and was always very well maintained ever since, with her own boathouse in Dartmoor.
