Owner’s Comments:

PHRYNE OF BURNHAM is an example of one of the first GRP Yachts moulded by Tylers. She is uniquely rare, being one of only five copies still in commission of the famous racing Yacht Vashti designed by Alan Buchanan. Her Classic lines are built for racing and she is thrilling on a broad reach. She competes annually in the Round the Island race and has been cruised extensively to the Baltic, Holland and Belgium, France, the South Coast and the Channel islands. Her graceful lines and counter belie a powerful, well balanced and rugged yacht. She thrives in extreme conditions.
