Why is a 1947 Royal yacht still racing today? Because she was built for it.

Bluebottle's build by Camper & Nicholson combines craftsmanship and performance, a blend that continues to shine on today's racecourse. With careful restoration by David Heritage Racing Yachts and skilled hands at the helm, her racing life is far from retirement.

Watch this space for where you can see her racing in 2026!
