Antony has summed up her history quite well  - I think she went from Mike Jackson to Andrew Turner who would have carried out the modifications. I believe that Mike went very fast in staight lines occasionally with the deep bow but that short tacking on the Thames at Ranelagh was a bit tricky - Mike himself or Chris Edwards would be the best people to consult on this - to the best of my knowledge neither visit this board but I think you'll find their numbers in the yearbook.

Cheers
