Giles,
Have seen it and am bidding.... :D
Would be good to have a boat in the Kingsbridge Estuary, waiting for Salcombe Week.... ;D

Soggy Moggy is the boat that John Royce sailed to win the Burton in 1976 and was I think 3rd in the week that year. I presume, therefore, that it is the boat in which he fought it out with Chris Edwards in Mulga Bill... as we all heard at the dinner last month.

Thanks for the info Dan. I am up to 460 Quid and will stop there I think.

Blimey..
I hope it's not my Soggy Moggy, as it's in the garage in bits..
I own N2778, which i found in a very sorry state in a garage in Norfolk a couple of years ago. It had been repaired/bodged over a period of time and at some point someone had epoxied over the original varnish. It's taken me ages to get the whole interior back to bare wood. The internal stringers have parted company with the hull in a number of places, there was rot in the hog under the maststep and the foredeck was badly damaged.
I am restoring the internals from scratch and hope to be afloat in the Autumn - next year I'll redeck it.

The seller desn't know a great deal about dinghys as my father went to see him a couple of weeks ago to pick up the sail suit I bought from him. Also off e-bay. Numbered from the same boat and in good condition. (Now re-numbered ;D)
