I owned this boat for about 14 years, giving her away when I got married to a very tall man who wasn't keen on sailing. For most of the time I sailed her in Blakeney Harbour but for the last three years I kept her at the London Corinthian sailing club on the Thames and when I could keep her no longer put a notice on the board at the London Corinthian club saying 'Free to good home' because I had had such fun with her and she by then was in need of a good coat of varnish. She was quickly snapped up by a family who took her down to a reservoir. I've always wondered if she is still being sailed and where. Do reply if anyone reading this knows anything about her.
