This year marks the 110th Anniversary of the Waverley class, a small yacht raced in Belfast Lough. The Waverley was designed by John Wylie and had a class rule that the boats should take their names from characters in Sir Walter Scott’s Waverley novels.
There is currently a display in the entrance area of Ballyholme Yacht Club with many pictures and information about the history of the class.
I spotted this knitted Waverley – perhaps it could be a new project idea for The Knitting Sailor?
