I don't know if she is still active but she was racing competitively in the late 1990's with her 3rd owner. <br /><br />Her close sister from 1982 Countdown (design No. 31) was slightly longer on the waterline, had a simple trench cockpit and stripped out interior.<br /><br />The MG RS34 was design No. 37; as far as I recall there were 3 one-off boats built to this design, Bathsheba for Sir Maurice Laing, Scenario Act 2 for Alan Fitton & Seren Wib for Bill Humpreys, Robs brother. Seren Wib became the plug from which the mould tools for the RS34 were taken.<br /><br />tadtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12712434308958632856noreply@blogger.com
