Barbican Yacht Construction was set up in the late 1970s, initially only moulding the hulls for their yachts, and contracting out the fit-out to Terry Erskine Yachts, (builder of many Golden Hind models). In the early 1980s Barbican Yachts took over the complete production process. The company ceased trading in 1993. All the three Barbican models were based on moulds for older designs, bought when the original builders ceased production, the 30 being a reworked Halmatic, the 33 a modified Philips Atlantic Clipper, and the 35 a reworked Super Sovereign 35.
