Unfortunately the wonderful Ed Burnett sadly died in 2015, though he left behind him an incredible impact on the yacht community. From his remarkable yachts, to his reputation as one of the most intelligent designers, he will be sorely missed by all that knew him and all that knew his work.
Yachts that Burnett worked with:
THE PEGASUS
A 56’ Burnett yacht designed for the Island Trust, in order to provide life changing experiences for young people through sailing.
SHINDELA
Built in Turkey and launched in 2011, this 83’ yacht was designed for both hands-on sailing and on-board family life.
GLORIANA
Commissioned for the Diamond Jubilee, this was Her Majesty The Queen’s Royal Rowbarge on her 60th year celebration.
KASKELOT
A refit and rebuild of a small ship constructed by T. Neilsen and Co. in Gloucester, Burnett designed a comprehensive new internal layout.
Charged with the restoration and adaptation of this classic 1946 racing yacht, the key was keeping the argyll powerful and beautifully mannered.
