The virtues of his design and the build are more than well expressed in the Yachting Monthly review of 1937 from which we quote below. Suffice to say now that she has retained her original qualities in spades some 8o years on as a sea kindly cruising yacht for the benefit and pleasure of any future owner.

2 HERITAGE, VINTAGE AND CLASSIC YACHTS +44 (0) O M WATTS WM FIFE BUILT 39 FT CUTTER 1936 Specification HISTORICAL NOTES PEREGRINE was bought by her current owner in aware the previous owner had Nigel Irens examine her rig to reduce weather helm in strong winds. In view of this the boom was shortened by 18 inches and the bowsprit extended by the same length. She was then taken to the Caribbean for a season. Prior to that she had been owned by a Swiss national and domiciled in Greece for 4 years. The current owner has cruised extensively in English Channel waters. In 2012 he sailed her to Gran Canaria - and then across to St Lucia in the 2012 ARC. The winter was spent cruising in the Caribbean. That the designers rose to the challenge has been very amply demonstrated in PEREGRINE s performances, whilst in building at the Fairlie yard of William Fife & Son, they made sure she was yacht built in the truest sense. The article goes on to relate not only some experiences destined to mark her out as a worthy voyager in all conditions but give a detailed resume of the materials employed in her construction and quality of her build. Lloyd's register identifies some previous owners as 1936 to 1938 H.F.B. Sharp 1939 to 1946 Captain P.N. Melitus 1947 to 1979 E.G. Hocquard 1980 G. Jelly Copy exists of an article reviewing PEREGRINE in an issue of Yachting World from 1937, some of which bears reproducing here: When an experienced owner, who knows just what he wants can work in harmony with his naval architects and then take the resulting design to a firm of first class builders then the finished yacht is generally worth a close inspection and PEREGRINE is by no means an exception... He stipulated she should be fit to face any weather which might be encountered during her wanderings, possess an easy motion in a seaway and capable of being handled by a crew of two. It was also specified that the construction and finish of the new yacht should be as near perfect as possible.
