Information from Humphreys website:
"Highwayman was designed for Tony
Clegg and daughter Libby
as an ocean-capable One Tonner, a term which needs some explaining. By this
time the One Ton level had already cast its dye as a grand prix class, with
boats becoming more and more inshore oriented, even despite the harsh lessons
of the 1979 Fastnet. Highwayman, on the other hand, was intended primarily for
the mooted RORC Caribbean Race and general blue water capability, and as such
was accepting an acknowledged cost to round-the-can performance under the IOR.
The boat was also very definitively a cruiser-racer, spiritually more traditional
than her contemporaries in her level of fit-out, but nevertheless enjoying a
fast hull of good behavioural characteristics. It was a concept that Humphreys
was to return to later with boats like Apriori, designed like Highwayman as
an antedote to some of the excesses that were befalling yacht racing. To date
there have been three chapters in Highwayman’s life, the first in Libby’s
hands, the second under famous nautical author Sir
Peter Johnson’s ownership, and for the past few years
under the ownership of Tjeerd & Karin Dijkstra.
We generally see her every season as they cruise through Lymington towards the
West Country from Holland. Our results archive for Highwayman, like rather too
many of our boats, has not been well maintained."
