Pinocchio - Pictured here in about the late 1980's returning to Dartmouth after the days racing in the Dartmouth Regatta. This yacht is a production boat built by Hunter Yachts and was called a Formula 28 which competed in the IOR Half ton fleets.
Do you know who designed her ?
Where is she now ?
Is she still racing ?

The Hunter Formula 28 was designed by Stephen Jones, although designed to the IOR rule it was not a 1/2 tonner, rating lower at about 20 ft (1/2 Ton rating being 22.0 ft) as a cheaper & competitive racer on handicap outside the level rating fleet.
