Designed by Uffa Fox and produced in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Built by Fairey Marine, Hamble more famous for their high speed power boats, they employed the same construction method which resulted in a relatively lightweight and very strong wooden hull, free of internal frames, making them ideal as yacht tenders or sailing dinghies.
Refitted in the previous ownership with what seems to be new thwarts, sole boards and inwhales. In solid condition, complete with rig and road trailer.
