Hello Mike,

I have looked through a load of old info and come up with five previous owners for her!

Have you filled in the registration page yet? The form has not got to me yet, it takes a day or two.. I take it you will probably be registering... When you do I will send you back all I have!

As for the sailing, I can advise if you have weatherhelm or the like, let me know what the rig is, sloop or cutter and how she sails... as she is of the later design she aught to have the heavier keel, so is probably going to be fine, but the way she is rigged, and how that is set up makes a world of difference. See the Hints and Tips page for more on that!

Generally she will be no greyhound, but she will get you there! She did have a Stuart 8 many years ago, hopefully that is now a 15hp diesel!

There will be times you will need that!

Good sailing and I look forward to hearing from you.
