October 2009. Owned by Adrian Morgan (journalist and boat builder) in the late 60's when I borrowed her to win the Junior Cup at Swanage Sailing Club. Adrian and I had swopped boats for the race and he was well pleased to see his pride and joy horizon the whole fleet and win by a country mile. I saw a picture of her on the SSC web site recently hence my remembering her number. Fesquie was a rather lovely friend of my sisters, hence the name. Simon Walworth 3469

Found these pictures on a very old family cine 8 that we recently had reformatted on to a DVD. Adrian Morgan with my sister Sarah sailing in the Swanage to Bournemouth pier race more years ago than they would like to remember. Sadly the old cine 8 did not record sound so we miss the incredible amount of noise she could produce when crewing.
