Was this boat originally owned by Bobby Pegna of Ranelagh Sailing Club? We had a marvellous neck and neck race with Bobby and Barbara at the Hamble River Sailing Club open meeting in 1960 or 61. His sail number was close to 1865 but I don't remebmer the name. Our boat was also a Mark 8.

Correction - I am now reliably informed/reminded that Bobby Pegna's boat was Clea (N1855).
