Originally owned by BG Storey sailing out of Tynemouth SC. Won the Scottish Championships in the early 80's. Was bought from the Bainbridges who had been sailing her at Derwent Reservoir SC by Kenneth Wilson in the mid 1990s who took her to Annandale SC. Was sold on several years later to the Gibson sisters at the same club, and was subsequently sold and disappeared somewhere down south (as far as I am aware). |

Comments from Bryan Storey: My 3rd Twelve was a Cheshire Cat called Curved Air N2961, dark blue, bought from Ipswich in'78, near new. Sailed v regularly from TSC summer & winter.Did Champs from LLandudno in '78 & from TSC in 79 & 85. Much improved performance over the Doll & had many good local & Scotish results. Liked it a lot. Comments from Mike Storey: I can distinctly remember driving with dad from Newcastle to Ipswich to buy it. |
