BROWN BUILT IN 1959 BY WILLIAM KING OF BURNHAM BACKGROUND In 1954 F.B.R. Brown designed the 6-ton Rundlet for himself, he wanted “a boat that would sail upright, would not draw too much water, and would provide as much comfort as can be had in a 6-tonner.” Amble is Rundlet’s immediate successor and “practically identical” to her. The changes made were small but interesting. Though Amble has economical overhangs the counter is a little longer than Rundlet’s. The alteration was made for the sake of appearance.

Speed, in a yacht, is never to be despised, and efficiency of rig and saving of unnecessary weight have not been lost sight of by the designer. Beamy Amble is beamy. Her designer says that she has demonstrated adequately that beam may be a substitute for draft size, planked in teak on Canadian rock elm timbers at 6 in centres, and with scantlings slightly in excess of Lloyd’s. Though Amble is beamy, the architect has shown no tendency in the lines to run out to a full stern. The lines aft are not pinched, but the hull shape a beat to windward in a smart breeze from the Sunk L.V. to Burnham.” These are the very conditions under which the small, beamy yacht of moderate draft has been traditionally assumed to be at her worst; but of all man’s creations the sailing yacht is the most likely to baffle his reasoning. falls into what may be called the “symmetrical” class.
