Nigel Waller built Z for us in 1993 and we launched the boat at the Gorey Regatta in Jersey in 1994. Nigel did a great job on the build and we had Z right the way through to the end of 2002, having done 6 Burton Weeks with a best place 17th overall at Harwich. Throughout almost the whole of its life, Z has been sailed offshore in Jersey, where I used to live and won lots of regatta and club handicap trophies there. We sold the boat in Jersey and it's still there.

This is the launch day - Anne and I rounding Gorey Roads buoy to port.  This is the kind of mark that you don't want to touch with a new boat!

Z at the Fowey Burton, 1995 - one of the days towards the end of the week.  We had an unprecedented (for us) first beat and went round in the lead - and this photo was taken at that point.  I was trying desperately hard not to look back.  Inevitably, the glory was short-lived ...
