Velsheda
Built in the 1930s, the J Class yachts achieved a pinnacle of grace and beauty. Only ten of these massive racing machines were constructed to compete for the America's Cup or simply to provide for their wealthy owners a form of yachting on a grand scale.
Terry Brabent was determined that the J Class yacht should not pass into history.
Bob Fisher charts the struggle that resulted in the rebirth of the Velsheda.
