Designed by Rob Humphreys and completely professionally refurbished in 2018, "Bespoke" is a superb opportunity to buy a high quality pocket rocket race boat for not a lot of money. In terms of Smiles Per Buck and thoroughbred performance, you don't need to go any further. This boat will make you smile. The current owner is a professional boat builder. The number of hours, sweat and toil that have made her what she is today cannot be refected in the asking price, so great value is assured. She enjoys a competitive IRC Rating of approximately 0.985 (subject to renewal). "Bespoke" is one of four boats built to this design, and all have acquitted themselves well in their respective ownerships.
