Originally belonged to Mike Wigmore of Midland Sailing Club and sailed with some success with him and Guy Curly at Tynemouth in 1979 and around the midland circuit at the same time, other street legals being competed in were Street Legal and Lion Heart.
Sold to Lawrence Carter at Earlswood Sailing club, then quite a hot bed of 12 sailing at the time.
This was the first 12 I crewed in competatively and I remember how fast it was in a blow bothup and downwind and especially on a reach, but also remember how quick it was to nosedive. Many happy memories
