I bought this boat from Ronnie Millar in 1991 or was it 1992, Ronnie having had her from new. I sold her in late 1993 to Tony Dale at Broxbourne. N3286 was one of the early epoxy D8s, and so one of the best built and light 12s of her era. I had a very happy summer with her sailng with my sister Frances, before being tempted by a one year old Waller Chapter (3384).
