I bought the boat on christmas eve 2005 and in early 2006 found a road trailer for her. Unfortunately on our first time out on the water we discovered she had several leaks and she almost sank. After many attempts at repair in between sitting my GCSE's and A levels, hopefully this year is the year! Will be relaunching her in Cornwall this August and hope to get some good sailing out of her this summer.

This boat has an interesting history. I saw her at the Falmouth Regatta Week in 1962 when, as "Boomerang", and very new, she was in beautiful condition. She was sailed by Cecil Rogers, a former Secretary of the Class, who suffered from a heart condition. She won all the National Twelve races that week by a wide margin.
