Introduction
EAGER was built by Camper & Nicholson and was the first of an iconic series of 55 footers built for private owners as well as for the Ministry of Defence. She was built for Lloyds of London as LUTINE and spent many years in this role. A great cruiser racer that did good service for Lloyds, some of her sisters are still in continuous service with the MoD, 40 years on. When EAGER, then LUTINE was sold by Lloyds, she spent a few years in a second ownership and was used on the South Coast until being bought by a new owner in 2007. By this time she was very down at heel, the years had taken their toll and she needed a refit. She was shipped to Rutherford Boat Works on the West Coast of the USA and there her transformation began. This was not a refit, it was a total rebuild, with the idea in mind that not only would she be put back into excellent condition, she would also benefit from the use of modern technology and design to enhance her comfort, sailing performance and looks wherever possible. The aim was to recreate the yacht without losing her essential character. Rutherfords were chosen because of their reputation as a world class repair yard.
In 2008 the transformation began. EAGER’s interior joinery, all systems, all mechanics, mast and rigging systems were removed. Beginning with a bare hull, the yacht’s longitudinal and transverse structures were supplemented with addition GRP to strengthen and stiffen the hull structure. The rig system was re-designed to accommodate a strong chain plate attachment point to the hull. Chain plates, stem and stern fittings were replaced. All external hull coatings were removed and new underwater and topside coatings were applied. The rudder skeg was rebuilt and lengthened.
EAGER’s deck, superstructure and cockpit were replaced using modern materials and building techniques. The superstructure and interior were redesigned to allow for the superstructure to extend aft giving a sweet line and additional volume below. Originally the yacht had a deep, 2 level cockpit and a companionway which perfectly drained water into the interior! There was also an overhanging deck shelter extending from the coachroof. EAGER has an entirely new deck mould and GRP upper works. The cockpit was moved aft and by stealing 18” from the deck and lazarette of the original and shrinking the cockpit length by around 22, as well as bringing the shelter deck volume back into the interior and as extending the coachroof by around 1’ she is transformed. In addition, she now has a new Yanmar aft with a V drive, taking the machinery out of the accommodation and giving a spacious machine room aft. This virtually doubles the amount of usable interior space in the main saloon.
All hatches, deck and rigging hardware, stanchions and bases, anchor roller, windlass, pulpit and pushpit were replaced. The interior bulkheads, partitions, cabin sole and all cabinetry also replaced. All fuel, water, grey and black tanks and plumbing systems were re-designed and reassigned. In addition, the electrical wiring, circuit breaker panels and associated systems were replaced.
Of course modern systems were also installed – generator, water maker, invertor and charger, pressurised hot and cold water, air conditioning, flat screen TVs, and refrigeration. A new carbon fibre spar and boom were designed and built for EAGER with new standing and running rigging. At the time of her build the IOR rule penalised sail area heavily, making LUTINE underpowered. Jim Antrim therefore re-rigged EAGER for greater sail area, yet easy handling. Her new carbon fibre rig is 12’ taller than the original. Whilst the hull had been reinforced and was hugely strong, nonetheless to be sure, the shroud anchorages removed inboard by means of moulded carbon shroud boxes bonded and carbon riveted to the hull. Her light airs performance has thus been massively improved. She also has new winches, 3 of which are powered.
Note: Antrim spar has since been replaced, by a Hall spar, due to damage when EAGER was in transit to Hong Kong.
EAGER retains her integrity as a modern classic. However, the sympathetic treatment of the rebuild has also allows her crew to enjoy modern technology and comfort not dreamt of in the 70s.
