Description

‘Kythera’ was designed by Ewing McGruer and built in 1929 by McGruers of Clynder, on the Clyde. She was commissioned for Dr Carslaw, a well-known sailor of the time, who owned four McGruer yachts and documented his cruising extensively in published accounts of sailing on the West Coast of Scotland. As a result, Kythera carries both historical significance and a well-documented provenance.
