Hedgpig is indeed alive and well at Haversham SC.

I have owned her for about 2 yrs now. She was originally baught to to strip for spares, mainly mast,  sails, rudder and centreboard to get my vintage 12 back on the water, but when I whent to collect her she was in way to good a condition for that fate. So after a long slow repaint and varnish she is back on the water (although due to lack of crew, never used)

I believe she is a oneoff design but I have no history. I bought her from her last owner who sailed her at Northampton up to about the mid/late 90's then changed class and she sat unused for about 6/7 yrs

I aquired Sonnet, 1539, about 4 yrs ago after she had just been redecked, painted and varnished.
She has just undergone another over haul with 3 planks being partially replaced amd once again repainted and varnished, so hopefully she'll see another 50 yrs. I do not know any of her history so can anyone can fill in some gaps.
