The Blue Peter

The Blue Peter was launched in 1930, although the teak used in the construction of her hull was brought from Thailand in 1870.She was designed by Alfred Mylne and built by W. King & Sons of Burnham-on-Crouch.
She was named The Blue Peter for luck, after the 'P' flag, which is used for starting a race. The Blue Peter won over 50 races in the 
following years, sailing out of The Royal Corinthian Yacht Club in Burnham-on-Crouch.

In 1999 she was found by her present owner, Mathew Barker, in Elba,and brought back to Italy, to Cantierie Navale Dell`Argentario, where 
the boat underwent a major refit in order to restore her back to her original splendor. This process took nearly 3 years, but during this 
time The Blue Peter has also raced at many of the Mediterranean regattas with some great results, namely winning regattas in Cannes, Antibes and Palma.
She also won the prestigious 'Most Authentic Yacht' prize in St Tropez in 2002.


The Blue Peter can be chartered, for one day, a week or for the more competitive one of the 'Classic Regattas'.
