Specifications

Miura's

"She was designed by Oswald Berckemeyer originally to compete specifically in the annual Cape Town to Rio race". "The Miura is a seaworthy boat of solid construction, with heavy duty rigging. A Miura's performance in heavy weather excels with speed and stability. She has a large tumblehome which explains the class name "miura" chosen by the designer, which is after a breed of pot-bellied fighting bulls in Spain." Cape Town yacht club currently believes that more circumnavigations have been completed in Miura's than by any other class of yacht.
