This is that actual yacht used for the June 2005 Practical Boat Owner Boat Report by David Harding entitled "Hurrah for the Huzar!"
Commissioned in May 2005 this is a hand built yacht of a level of seaworthiness unseen in mass produced yachts of similar size. Check out her performance data on http://www.huzar.co.uk and you will see she has the stability figures more like a 37+ footer, and you can feel it!
She feels much larger than she really is and at sea she is, to use PBO's words
"...in a different league to most other 30 footers" (PBO – April 2005).
The specification of this yacht is impressive and includes;
5+1 berths in 2 cabins
BETA 20hp Diesel inboard with sail-drive & folding propeller (approx 370 hours)
Lead antimony performance fin keel upgrade (as opposed to standard cast iron) (STIX 38.7!! - if you are unclear as to the significance of this feature, please ask us – its important!)

In Summer 2005 she cruised the Clyde and in Winter 2005 and Summer 2006 she moved to Windermere for more demo sails, cruising and some club racing (she won the cruiser class of the 2006 and 2007 Windermere Winter Series). She was back in Scotland for the 2007 Bell's Scottish Series - In 2008 and 2009 she has just sailed locally from Preston Marina.
