Previous Boats

Relax of Phoenix

2017 - 2026

Relax is an X-40 yacht, build in Denmark in 2008. A high performance yacht for racing and cruising. Being sold Autumn 2026.

Spellbinder of Wych
1991 – 2017

Spellbinder is a Sadler Starlight 39, a fast performance cruiser built in 1991. She has a ‘Training Yacht’ configuration, with a third cabin in place of the second heads giving a maximum of eight berths.

PYC bought Spellbinder from BP when the club was formed and she served us very well. However over the years she became less competitive in races because the handicapping system has favoured newer boats so we decided it was time to replace her with a newer cruiser racer in 2018.

Firebird
2008 – 2010

Firebird is an Elan 340
