FREEWARD (1962) Sloop Mt 19.50 – A Class boat
Freeward built in 1962 commissioned by Sir M. Hamill from the Jones’ Buckie Ship and Buckie Shipyard near Glasgow on drawings by G.L. Watson & C., classified with the 100-in-1 Malta Cross in Lloyd’s Register of Shipping, is certainly a unique, original and rare product. It was designed and built for a particular purpose: to host British observers who followed the America’s Cup, to accompany the challenging boats from London to the United States.
