REMARKS
The classic long keel cruiser/racer with probably the longest pedigree and production run ever. Over one thousand examples have been built in Europe alone and fleets established as far afield as San Francisco and Sydney.
A thoroughbred all weather performer with impeccable manners.
Prior to purchase by the current owner in 2004 she benefitted from a professional refit by HMS of Southwold including the hull being stripped and West epoxied, strengthening of frames and attention to planking where necessary. Between 2009 and 2011 she underwent further professional renovation to planking, side decks and rudder by Wooden Boats Forever Ltd., at Dolphin Quay Boatyard (since moved to Birdham Pool).
