The Piper One Design (OD) stands as a definitive chapter in the storied history of Alexander Robertson & Sons, representing a pivotal transition from traditional timber craftsmanship to the modern era of fiberglass construction. Commissioned in the mid-1960s by the Royal Northern & Clyde Yacht Club to provide a modern, low-maintenance alternative to the Loch Long class, the Piper OD was designed by the legendary naval architect David Boyd. Boyd, famed for his 12-metre America’s Cup challengers Sceptre and Sovereign, distilled the elegance and hydrodynamic sophistication of International Rule racing yachts into a 24-foot day racer. Though initially intended as a replacement for older classes, the Piper carved out its own niche, becoming a beloved fixture of the Holy Loch and Gareloch racing circuits.
