Hi there,
There are a few different classes to choose from depending on your taste and ability to trick some into coming with you. Probably the best place for info is this site:
We built Paris to fit within the ‘New Bermudan Flea Class’. She’s 20ft long and does a touch under 12 knots at full noise. For us, the 20’ class was the best bang for buck as a long boat will always be reasonably quick.
The ‘open’ and ‘modified’ classes are a real can of worms. Not many finish the race, but when they do they fly. They’re doing +20 knots. Although reliability is almost non-existent when running a seagull at that rev range.

Hi Grant
I’ll get Adrian (Paris) to reply in more detail but I understand there were several classes.

Can you tell me what type of boats were used the the seagull classic. There seems to have been a common style with craft like “Paris”.
