Before I owned her I believe that one of the Sallis family had her for years before leaving her in a barn for some time. Nigel Playford rescued her and put her back on the water in the late-80s before selling her to me. This was my first 12, bought for me by my Father in 1989 and then given to me for my 18th birthday. It is one of a great generation of lightly but very well-built Bob Hoare boats to the Tigress design. We took it to Burton Wk at Harwich in 1989 and had a great time learning how to sail on the sea and in a big fleet (although we did also manage to break the mast). I sold it in 1990 when I got a bit better and wanted a Crusader to be a bit faster downwind. Antony Gifford, 01/07 |
