Known History:-
Initially built to compete in the Admirals Cup, she was held as a spare boat but never called upon.
Through 1970's she was raced extensively in Southern Ireland and in South Coast regattas.
Competed in the notorious 1979 Fastnet race and was one of the very few to complete the race without mishap.
Passed through several hands until obtained by current owner who has refurbished and extensively overhauled her back up to full racing trim. A completely dry boat despite the open plan after cockpit and flush deck with unusual feature of below deck running rigging giving a very uncluttered and safe deck working area.
Through the Summer and Autumn or 2000, she completed a run from Portugal to the UK with ease in a variety of weather conditions even at times with minimum crew.
She is currently part way through a circumnavigation cruise around the world.
Comment:-
Good, safe and dry boat, could be sailed single-handed with autopilot fitted.
Valuation:-
The vessel is currently valued in excess of £ 45,000
