FOR SALE Carter 39 Offshore ‘Bryell’ FOR SALE
When you board this Dick Carter designed sailing yacht, your first impression is that she is an extremely sturdy and stable boat. Dick Carter was together with Olin Stephens (Swan, S&S) and Britton Chance one of the top three America's Cup, Admirals Cup and yacht designers of the late sixties and seventies.
Her beautiful laid teak deck (12 mm) together with her original gel coat white hull results in a stunning appearance, particularly when under full sail and is therefore quite a head turner!
She is designed as a flat-out machine. The Carter 39 sailing machine is not built from conventional wisdom. The hull shape of the 39 has been tested; racing, on the ocean. The shape is derived from the YDRA, the prototype Carter One Tonner that the sailing press called "fastest One Tonner in the world." With a large sail plan, it excels in light/moderate air. Yet it can hold its advantage in a breeze.
Down below she has 7 berths; double in the fore cabin, 2 plus 2 pipe cots in the saloon and a quarter berth. Bryell has also had a new Volvo Penta D2-E55 engine which has less than 150 hours use. Her interior has been completely refitted, including new wiring.

About Dick Carter
American designer and racing sailor. His first notoriety was achieved with the 33' 'Rabbit', which trounced the competition on the European racing circuit in 1965, including a first overall in the Fastnet race. He returned the following year with the 37' 'Tina', with nearly equal success. Carter designs continued to dominate RORC handicap racing for a number of years with 'Rabit II'(1967), and the more radical 'Red Rooster', with it's 2 ton drop keel, and retractable, transom hung rudder. Despite being launched only days before the series, 'Rooster' was top scoring boat at the Admirals Cup of 1969, and overall winner in the Fastnet.
As 'level' racing became popular (under the newly created IOR), Carter designs continued to be at the top of the fleet with one tonner 'Ydra', and three quarter tonner 'Ariadne'.
Carter also took an active role in revising and maintaining the rules for offshore racing and was among the most influencial advisors in the development of the IOR.
Carter Offshore was the company he established to build production versions of many of his most successful designs. The actual contruction was contracted out to a number of yards around the world. Though it was a constant struggle, it is thought that, for the most part, he succeeded in maintaining his expected high standards.
One of the most unusual projects that Carter became involved with was the 120' 3 master schooner 'Vendredi Treize' built for the 1972 Single Handed Trans Atlantic race. The boat, (actually drawn by Yves-Marie Tanton, an employee at the time) was narrowly defeated by Alain Colas, sailing Eric Tabarly's revolutionary, aluminum trimaran.
Because of his reputation, Carters design firm, located at Nahant, near Boston MA, attracted some of the most dedicated and talented people in the field. Many designers of later renown, got their start working for Carter.
