"Not many 'amateur' yacht designers would dare to enter the first boat they had ever designed into the epic offshore Fastnet Race, let alone with the intention of winning it. But that is what Dick Carter did in 1964, beating 151 other yachts, some sailed by the most notable sailors of the day. He repeated the feat 4 years later with another of his own designs, but by then he could certainly not be described as an 'amateur' yacht designer. His radical innovations created fast boats which were much in demand in this, the golden age of offshore racing. They were commissioned by the top sailors and succeeded in winning the Admiral's Cup, Southern Cross Series, One Ton Cup, Two Ton Cup and many of the biggest races. He even went on to design the massive 128-foot Vendredi Treize for Jean-Yves Terlain to sail single-handed in the 1972 OSTAR race - the longest boat ever to have been raced
