The life of N3047 Trouncer. Design: Bouncer, designed by: Jo Richards in 1977
Boat broken up - 2007
Broken up 2007.:(
This bost was built for Martin Jones who sailed at Tynemouth before he moved into 14s and went even faster than he had done in Trouncer and Palomino that he borrowed from his father Barry. I have no idea where the boat went after it left Tynemouth.
I bought Trouncer near Henley-on-Thames in about 1985 for my son Christopher and daughter Jane to race. We kept Trouncer for a couple of years, removing surplus timber to get her down to the current class weight. I can't recall who became the new owner.
