Niebla was conceived to emulate the feel and aesthetics of the classics, the owner had fallen in love with Chicane, designed by Alfred Mylne in 1926, but dreamt of modern sailing performance and easy short handing. The outcome was Niebla, fitted with all modern engineering systems and a light and spacious interior. Niebla remains in the same ownership and has now covered many thousands of miles.
