Restored and moved to Edinburgh
The classic 1930s ocean racing yacht Bloodhound, owned by Her Majesty The Queen and Prince Philip in the 1960s and aboard which Prince Charles and Princess Anne learned to sail, has been purchased by The Royal Yacht Britannia Trust to put on display alongside Britannia in Edinburgh.
Built in 1936 by the Camper & Nicholson yard in Gosport, Bloodhound was one of the most successful ocean racing yachts ever built, winning scores of races in the south of England and also crossed the Atlantic to compete in Bermuda.
On the back of this outstanding race history Bloodhound was acquired by the Royal Family in 1962 and Prince Philip (pictured at the helm) had much success competing with her at Cowes Week.
During royal ownership Bloodhound would also accompany the Royal Yacht, Britannia in the Western Isles when the Royal Family had their annual family holiday.
When not in Royal use Bloodhound was also crewed by a number of youth organisations, teaching young people how to sail. In 1969 Bloodhound was sold and not replaced by the Royal Family.
Bloodhound then effectively retired from racing until the 1980s when she once again competed until 2001. Thereafter she fell into considerable disrepair and very nearly became beyond salvage.
However in 2003 she was purchased by Tony McGrail, a yacht surveyor and classic yacht restorer. Over the next 3½ years she then underwent a major internal and external refit.
Having been purchased by The Royal Yacht Britannia Trust, Bloodhound will form the centrepiece of a major new exhibit. It is anticipated that Bloodhound will be on display in April 2010.
Chairman of the Royal Yacht Britannia Trust, Rear Admiral Neil Rankin said “We are delighted to have acquired such an important piece of British yachting history and look forward to having Bloodhound alongside Britannia once more, for the public to see what a wonderful ocean racing yacht she is and why she was so fondly regarded by all associated with her illustrious past”.
Tony McGrail commented “We are delighted that Bloodhound will be joining The Royal Yacht Britannia in Edinburgh. Firstly because we always hoped that she would remain in her home waters, secondly because her heritage will be recognised, cherished and admired by the public while she lies alongside her big ‘sister’ and her maintenance and longevity is guaranteed which is very reassuring, all of which makes our restoration programme both appreciated and worthwhile.”

A sailboat that was owned by the Duke of Edinburgh has been added to the historic fleet of the Royal Yacht Britannia.
The restoration of Bluebottle was funded by the Leith-based attraction over an 18-month period.
The Royal Yacht Britannia Trust said the dragon class sailboat was “formerly owned and much-loved” by Philip.
It will join yachts Coweslip and Bloodhound – both of which were also owned by Philip – at the popular Leith site, which has had a “longstanding ambition” to reunite the three historic vessels.
David Heritage, of David Heritage Racing Yachts, was funded by the trust to restore Bluebottle.
He said: “It was a great honour to undertake the challenge of rebuilding such an iconic and famous racing yacht and with the use of modern boat building techniques, bring her back to full racing condition.
“It was also an honour to know that the Duke of Edinburgh was able to see photographs as the rebuild progressed, but equally sad that he was unable to see the finished boat.”
The duke served as a Royal Navy officer and was a keen sailor who was appointed admiral of the Royal Yacht Squadron.
He began sailing while he was at Gordonstoun School in Moray and often took a young Prince of Wales on to the water in Bluebottle, which was a wedding gift to the Queen from the Island Sailing Club in Cowes, Isle of Wight.
In 1956 Bluebottle was loaned to the British sailing team competing at the Melbourne Olympics, winning a bronze medal with Lieutenant Commander Graham Mann at the helm.
The restored yacht is expected to compete for the Edinburgh Cup at the British Dragon Association’s UK championships in late August, crewed by sailors Julia and Graham Bailey.
Royal Yacht Britannia chief executive Bob Downie said: “To finally have all three beautiful royal sailing yachts on public display alongside Britannia completes a historic maritime jigsaw we started 12 years ago, and I am sure our visitors will be as delighted as we are to see all the Duke of Edinburgh’s much-loved sailing yachts united once more.
“We also look forward to Bluebottle once again sailing in the company of other dragon class yachts, both here in the River Forth and at regattas elsewhere in the UK.”

The classic yacht 'Bloodhound', once owned by Queen Elizabeth 11 and the Duke of Edinburgh, has been lovingly restored by Tony Mcgrail, a specialist classic yacht restorer. This beautiful classic yacht was originally built in 1935 by Camper & Nicholson to a design by Peter Nicholson. Built to the 12 metre rule, but constructed with offshore racing in mind, she has proven to be the boat to beat at countless regattas and offshore races during her long life.
During her ownership by the UK Royal family she was a regular site at many regattas, also touring with the family on their regular trips to Scotland and the Continent. When not being used by the Royal family, this lovely classic yacht could be found at yacht clubs around the UK where she was available to members wishing to experience sailing on a beautiful yacht. Interestingly, she was skippered by no less a person than Francis Drake!
Tony McGrail has now completed a full restoration and she is available for sale in time for the 2008 season. As one of the lucky few who have been sailing her during sea trials and reviews for magazines such as Classic Yacht, I can report she is the lovliest yacht I have ever had the pleasure to sail. If you want to own one of the most famous classic yachts ever built, you are welcome to contact www.boatmatch.com , we have hundreds of pictures taken throughout the restoration and many of her sailing.
The asking price for 'Bloodhound' has now been reduced and offers are invited at a new price of £998,000. Given the undoubted provenance, performance and the quality of workmanship in the restoration this is remarkable value for one of the most famous yachts ever built.
