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 ?
Sailing PHOTOS - This blog covers a wide range of boating topics check out my DIRECTORY which is full of use full information. There are lots of photos of Classic racing yachts , modern racing yachts, multihulls and yachts/boats of interest. Have a look at the photo directory for yacht names. My youtube Channel called shockwave40 has 196 videos of sailing action. Back in 2010 I almost videoed all UK dinghy classes and some catamaran classes that existed back then.

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.
