The Etchells Class, originally designed in 1966 by E. W. "Skip" Etchells as the E22, stands as a paragon of one-design keelboat racing, revered for its purity of form and exceptionally tight competition. For decades, the class was defined by its strict adherence to a single hull shape, but the entry of Petticrows into the market marked a significant technological evolution for the fleet. Leveraging their world-renowned expertise in International Dragon construction, Petticrows applied modern CNC-molding and advanced composite techniques to the 30-foot racer, ensuring that while the lines remained classic, the tolerances became surgical. The result is a vessel that honors the legacy of the original 1966 design—which famously dominated the 1967 IYRU trials—while offering the structural rigidity and finish quality expected of a premium 21st-century racing machine.
