Remarks

Built by Fred Press of Wroxham, this boat has a full history, and has been gently restored over recent years. She has been owned by her current owner for 17 years. The previous owner had much work done, including a new transom and re-decking (work to a very high standard). She was surveyed about 9 years ago, and consequently had 24 ribs replaced. Since then she has been well maintained, and stored under cover every winter. Her berth cushions were refilled 4 years ago, and the keel bolts replaced recently. Repainted and varnished Winter 2004/5, she is now ready, in the water, for the 2005 season.
