SUPERYACHT WORLD SEPT/OCT 2013

Inspired by the smooth lines and British heritage of a Spitfire, Claydon Reeves’ new design is powered by an original Rolls-Royce Merlin V12 engine with bespoke gearbox, which can attain speeds of over 50 knots. Its carbon fibre and lightweight wood veneer are sourced from Britain. The interior harks back to classic sports cars, featuring leather stitching and a wooden dashboard, with forward seats in a shock-mounted design inspired by Spitfire landing gear. www.claydonreeves.com
