Description

The Mystery 39 designed by Robert Clark is one of the most iconic pre-war British designed and built yachts. Sought after for their beautiful lines and exemplary sailing characteristics. "Astrophel" was purchased in 2018 and underwent 4 year complete restoration by her knowledgeable owner, who is also a highly regarded marine surveyor. Launched for successful sea trials summer 2023. History Commissioned by Itchenor Sailing Club member Maxwell F.A. Keen, ASTROPHEL was built, like all twelve Mystery Class yachts, by Sussex Yacht Works, Shoreham-by-Sea; an innovative yard that built many Clark designs, including the well-known pre-war ocean racers JOHN DORY and ERIVALE, both launched the year before.
