Specification BROKER'S COMMENTS FOXHOUND is the third build - sister to ZINNIA, MEAGAN and subsequently many more - to this now legendary Burnett & Irens design that takes an initially traditional-looking 30 footer and gives it the feel, space and performance of a larger yacht. Built by one of the best UK wood-epoxy builders, and entrancing only two owners since new, FOXHOUND is the definition of a proper little ship, embodying her designers’ renowned flair for borrowing from good old ideas and style, adding modern technical and materials knowledge, and topping it off with a hard to define but easily discernible eye-sweet aesthetic flair. Few traditional yachts of this size can be so comfortable both at sea and in port – and be so relatively easy to maintain.
