The Glass Onion is a storied 25-foot (7.57-meter) IOR Mini Tonner designed by the acclaimed naval architect Julian Everitt. First launched in 1980, the vessel was conceived as a high-performance racing machine that pushed the boundaries of the International Offshore Rule (IOR) of the era. Built primarily in fiberglass (GRP), the model earned its place in nautical history as the "plug" or prototype for the later production-run Evolution 22, specifically the Evolution 22 Glass Onion One Design launched around 1984. According to Julian Everitt, the design was a reaction to the specific requirements of Solent racing, emphasizing light displacement and a powerful rig to master the "sloppy" sea states of the English Channel.
