My old boat ! Initially named Fifteen Minutes of Fame. This pic from the Porthpean Nationals some years back 2000 ? Great light wind boat but never really had the pace in a blow. Baggies were always quicker on the plane.

As Steve says, originally 'Fifteen Minutes of Fame' however when Chris Winzar bought her from Rob, Ysobel took one look at her muttered the immortal words -'O Crikey!' and it stuck!!!!

Possibly one of my favorite Twelves of those I have owned! Only sold her because I got into compulsive boat building and couldn't fit all the boats in the drive let alone the cars.

Steve sold her onto Simon Hinks who still has her today.

Anyone know whereabouts O'Crickey lives nowadays?

Living in darkest Cornwall when I saw her last autumn, I think that Simon Hinks has plans to sail her again this year.
