  1. Just happened to come across these, i sail her and she's still racing and winning races and series in the solent and offshore. She's about a foot higher in the water than those pictures show since she has a carbon mast now and doesn't need too many supplies onboard.

  2. She was designed by Rob Humphreys and was based on (the 36 foot) Apriori, also by Rob Humphreys. I sailed on her in the early 90s with the original owner and did the first Commodore's Cup. She was a delight to sail in, especially in longer offshore RORC races. Happy days....
