The life of N2117 Zig-Zag. Design: Starfish, designed by: Mike Nokes in 1961
Original boat name: Branston Pickle.
on ebay April 2010. pics from ebay ad. Looks to be a nice original boat.
I was recently invited to view this boat, whose owner lives in Etwall, near Derby. The owner states firmly that the boat is called Zig-Zag but it started life as Branston Pickle. It was raced at Burton Sailing Club, whose waters then were at Branston. The present owner has never raced the boat anywhere else, but has sailed it intermittently on holiday in recent years, often in North Wales. The images are of Abersoch.
The boat was advertised on ebay last year, but either attracted no interest or offers were inadequate. Zig-Zag is on the market again. The hull is varnished and the boat looks sound and could be sailed straight away. The interior could do with some minor refurbishment, eg varnishing. The sails which look to be in good condition, are original Ratsey's and there is a spare suit. There is no trolley or cover.
If anybody is interested, please call me in the first instance. My number is in the Handbook.
