The Limbo 6.6, introduced in 1975 by Zygal Boats of Whitstable, stands as a testament to the mid1970s British penchant for innovative, compact cruiserracers. Measuring 22.25 feet with an unusually generous beam of nearly nine feet, the 6.6 was designed to maximize internal volume and stability without sacrificing the portability required of a trailersailer. Produced during the transition toward glassreinforced plastic (GRP) dominance, the model utilized robust handlaid laminate that has allowed many examples to remain seaworthy decades later. Its design philosophy, overseen by Zygal principal Arthur Edmunds, centered on versatility; the boat was intended to be as capable on a club racing circuit as it was on a family weekend cruise through the shallow estuaries of the UK’s East Coast.
