Illusion

A 12' single handed keelboat with 350lbs of lead to keep it upright designed by Jo Richards to look like a Twelve metre yacht and react in the same way to give match racing practice for the America’s Cup crews. The Class was started at Bembridge (Isle of Wight) in the early 80s and is now regular at four clubs in the UK.
