HOW THE CLASSIC ARTS AND ARCHITECTURE BLEND INTO MODERN YACHT DESIGN CAN BE SEEN AS THE TRUE THEME IN THE OEUVRE OF RICHARD »DICK« CARTER. AN AMATEUR YACHT DESIGNER IN THE BEST SENSE OF THE TERM, HIS DESIGNS WERE RADICAL FOR THEIR TIME AND TURNED THE WORLD OF YACHT RACING UPSIDE DOWN. CARTER’S INFLUENTIAL BUT SHORT CAREER BURNT LIKE FIREWORKS IN THE YEARS FROM THE MID 1960S TO THE END OF THE 1970S WHEN HE, AT THE HEIGHT OF HIS SUCCESS, SUDDENLY RETIRED FROM DESIGNING.
