The Saro Scimitar, introduced in 1962, represents a pivotal moment in British yachting history as one of the earliest production fiberglass (GRP) keelboats. Designed by the esteemed naval architects at Laurent Giles Archive, the Scimitar was conceived as a modern, lowmaintenance alternative to established wooden onedesign classes like the XOD. Construction was undertaken by Saro (Anglesey) Ltd, a subsidiary of the aerospace giant SaundersRoe, utilizing the company’s extensive experience in tank testing and highperformance marine engineering. Approximately 70 units were produced, primarily at the Saro facility in Beaumaris, Wales.
