A powerful, vintage, wooden half decker racing yacht appreciated by experienced sailors.

Orange Tip is a Gunter rigged Yare and Bure One Design half decker built in 1920. New to the Eastwood Whelpton Fleet in 2020, she is fast and fun to sail, suitable for experienced dinghy or half decker sailors.
