Troy class boats
From SpottingWorld, the Hub for the SpottingWorld network...
Troy class boats are a class of sailing boats unique to Fowey in Cornwall and are raced competitively. 28 have been built since 1929. 6 new boats have been built in the last 6 years, four of them by Marcus Lewis, boatbuilder in Fowey.
The first boat was built by Archie Watty, for Sir Charles Hanson (a former Lord Mayor of London) in the winter of 1928/29.
The name comes from Troy town which is the fictional name given to Fowey by the writer and scholar Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch in many of his books.
