From the board of Laurie Davidson comes the latest in a long line of high performance race yachts for a Californian owner. This is the second serious race boat that Franklin's have built for him, the first being the 52 foot Davidson designed Pendragon IV built some 9 years ago.

Pendragon VI is 69 feet in length, the design team included Dibley Marine of Auckland New Zealand. The interior ends are finished in high gloss over the carbon fibre while the centre area is a paint finish with American maple trim and red upholstery.

The owner plans to race Pendragon VI in the Transpac as well as both offshore and inshore races in North America.
