I First came across this boat at Attenborough SC in Nottinghamshire in 2002/2003, and I bought her to club race in (my first 12). Unfortunately I took a job in Weymouth and although i brought her down with me I didn't dedicate enough time to her. She went to a boat builder friend of mine who lived in essex in 2005(?) and he brought her back up to scratch. He now lives in North Wales but still owns the boat which is in a boat yard near his folks home. I think she will be moving up to join him soon though! nice looking little boat, he painted her yellow which is how i first remember her, when i had her she was a racing green whcih was a bit dark...
