The Leisure 17 stands as one of the most significant achievements in the history of British production yachting. Launched by Cobramold Ltd. at the 1967 London Boat Show, this 17foot pocket cruiser was designed by Arthur Howard to provide an affordable, seaworthy, and trailerable entry point into the world of yachting. Despite its diminutive length, the "Seventeen" was engineered with a robustness that far exceeded the expectations of a typical daysailer, eventually earning a reputation for being nearly indestructible. With approximately 3,000 units produced between 1967 and 1996, the model became a ubiquitous sight in European coastal waters, particularly in the United Kingdom, Germany, and the Netherlands.
