Remarks
This yacht was brought to the UK in 1951, having survived World War II. She was purchased by her current owners in 1996, and was subsequently the subject of considerable 9 year structural restoration project. She was relaunched in 2005, and her interior was refitted during winter months ashore from 2005 to 2007. Her owner states that she has been sailed in all weathers from flat calms to force 7s, and that she is a very capable boat. Currently lying ashore.
