The designer of this boat, Robert Clark, was an English designer of yachts, contemporary architects such as Stephens and Giles; he was noted for having designed racing boats able to develop a good speed without sacrificing comfort. Of him projects like the Favona, winner in Fastnet Race of 1953 or the Gipsy Moth III winner of the 1960 solo transatlantic race skippered by Francis Chichester, at the time not yet awarded the title of Sir. Og him also the project of British Steel of Chay Blyth, who circumnavigated the globe surfing the 'wrong side', that is he sailed for most of the time upwind and solo. Clark began to emerge in the late thirties through boats as Ortac. He died in 1988.

Michelangelo. The Drawings of a Genius, 1st Ed Exhibition Catalog
Located in valatie, NY
Michelangelo. The Drawings of a Genius. By Achim Gnann. Preface by Klaus Albrecht Schröder. Published by the Albertina, Vienna. This catalogue is published in conjunction with the exhibition "Michelangelo: The Drawings of a Genius", Albertina, Vienna; October 8, 2010 - January 9, 2011. 478th. Published by Hatje Cantz, Ostfildern, 2010. 1st Ed softcover exhibition catalog. Michelangelo's drawings endowed human physique with an expressive musculature that remains to be rivaled in its feeling for corporeal articulation. His drawings of male nudes in particular, fraught as they are with tempestuous longing, project both tension and pliancy, and a compelling sense of health in the exertions and torque of bodies. He was also readily able to bring contrary qualities of grace and swiftness to depictions of women and cherubim. With over 300 color plates and extensive contextualizing scholarship, Michelangelo: The Drawings of a Genius is the most complete treatment of his work ever published, and thus constitutes a publication of great importance. Masterpieces from the world's finest museums are gathered, from the early studies for the "Battle of Cascina" and the studies for the Sistine Chapel frescoes, to the drawings for the tomb of Julius II, the Medici tombs...
