    Thomas 1/4 ton. Built with lots of IOR rule stretching. Still racing in the Solent.

    I sailed her for two seasons. She was built by the Elephant Boatyard at the top of the Hamble river, called needlework because she had a needlework mast and rigging that could be altered to slant it all forward when going down wind. The engine worked for 5 minutes before it overheated. Great fun all told.

    I sailed her with Vic Marchant out of Brighton Marina for a few years .We won Round the Island with her. Fabulous little boat. We also put a new fordeck on her. Good times.
