The life of N439 Pepita. Design: , designed by: in
N.439 "Pepita" and her mast.
I was visiting one of my old sailing haunts, Beer Sailing Club, this last weekend and fell into conversation with another visitor who was the owner of this boat. He decribed that it was berthed at Avon S.C. on the river Severn, many years ago and was swept away by an exceptional flood. The wooden mast had previously been removed, the gentleman had stored it and he now wants to dispose of it. If anyone is interested in this I can pass on his telephone number.
The gentleman knows Phil Rowley and reports that she is still going strong. His two sons crewed for her in the past.
