Wooden Ships Comments on this Ian Oughtred Arctic Tern
The Arctic Tern was designed by Ian Oughtred to be built in plywood and this was the first one he re-designed to be built in clinker timber. She was built by Adrian Morgan and Mattis Voss of Viking Boats in Ullapool. She sails well and won her class in the 2013 Caledonia Raid.
The original design was altered by Oughtred to reduce her length to 17′ to make storage easier for the owner. In 2016 Oughtred designed a bermudan sloop rig for the boat which was fitted with all new sails. This makes her a little easier to sail single handed and has not reduced her performance.
Varnished and painted inside and out in 2016, on a good trailer ready to go.
