Fatso was one of two boats built by Nigel Waller in 2003, to a new Bim Daser design now called the 'Paradox'. They have distinctive full width decks from the shroud base back to the transom.

We just about managed to get them afloat in time for Looe Burton Week in 2003, and have since sailed her at Abersoch in '05 and Porthpean in '06. The boat was lent to Steve Dunn for Weymouth in 2004.
