Bought in summer 2006 from Alistair Gordon who sailed her on the river at Evesham (not an ideal venue for a Baggy II!). Think i'm the 5th owner. Wood epoxy sheathed Baggy II with low bow tank/ space frame and low stern tank - the typical layout of the Waller/ Cheshire Watersports era Baggies of the mid 80's. 'Mr Bill' is best known for his results in the hands of Steve Sallis, the original owner. Still a solid boat in very sound condition, and quick in a breeze the few times i've sailed it. Mr Bill has been de-keeled in the past and still has a superspar M7 rig. Looking better with revarnished decks and new paint job (pale blue to waterline). A newer suit of P&B's have also helped the rejuvenation. A few more odd jobs still to do but look forward to sailing again this season. Dan |
