The second boat to come out of the Cheshire Dinghy and Dive Mould whilst it was in Tony's workshop (see 3298).

Richard sailed it at Rudyard Lake in the early 90's but don't know her history after that.

Pretty sure this is the boat my brother owned for a year or two in the early 1990s.  

From memory i think that he must have sailed at Burton Wk 1992 at Exmouth, crewed by a young Ian Williams (now of match racing fame).  It was an 'interesting' build, with a strange wooden space frame to hold it all together.

Antony is right. It did belong to Michael John and I have a picture of him and Ian at Exmouth. It came from Ely and I don't think it was called Anarchy at the time. The stern tank had to be removed due to rot but otherwise she was fine.

Pictures of 3297 when nearly complete.  We left pigment out of the resin as a weight saving idea. it went to Whitstable like that but Richard later sprayed it.
