Production boats for which McKillops made all the sails, canvaswork and upholstery. Nigel Irens says ' McKillop's know-how in the field of traditional sails has helped develop the efficiency of ROXANE and ROMILLY's lug rigs.

Hand finishing of this quality is simply not available from big lofts with high overheads'

at Rogers Yacht Design, rig and sail plan designed by owners and John
McKillop & Co.
