The life of N3014 Sindbad. Design: Bouncer, designed by: Jo Richards in 1977
Previous boat names: Green Paglet, Quasar.
John Wills apparently went to the champs and saw Bouncer, took some pics, and came home and built this one for his daughters boyfriend Ross.They sailed it for a number of years, and it was eventually bought by Roger Paddey, remaining with the Portchester fleet. He and I had a numer of successes in it, competing well against the newer Crusaders etc. It did hobbyhorse in a chop, but on smooth water or waves it went well. My first sail in it was 4/1/87, and I last saw it in 1990.
I think this boat has been in Clevedon Somerset for some years unsailed.
