They had a beam of 6'10 and a draft of 3'8. Sloop rigged they displaced 2.7 tons. The boat is by Laurent Giles designed in 1931 and 18 were built by 1938. We are indebted to Geoff Douglas for this information. Geoff has recently acquired L13 originally named Madeline and more recently Syvoma.
Restoration is under way.
Lysander was designed in the sixties by Percy Blandford to appeal to the home builder. The LOA has meetings throughout the year and new members without boats are encouraged to come along - and invariably find themselves sailing. Meetings are held regularly, typically in the Lake Disrict, in the South West, on the South Coast and on the Norfolk Broads. Currently about 250 members. LOA publishes a quarterly newsletter which includes a notice board for advertisements - a splendid way of becoming a Lysander owner.
