The life of N1626 Intuition. Design: Mark 8, designed by: Ian Proctor in 1959
Burton Cup & YW Silver National Points Trophy winning boat, Scarborough 1958, Peter Nicholson & George Nicholson.
A famous boat and cupwinner that originally belonged to Peter Nicholson of Camper and Nicholson. I bought her from Elaine Tegue in Bucks and she had also been owned by John Deacon, twice I think.
I sailed her in Studland, on the Thames and at Pitsford Resevoir.
I owned her from 1997 to 2006 and sold her with regret after a house move to a gentleman in Rutland.
I would love to buy her back so email me if she becomes available.
You can also call me on 0778 686 6099.
Glad to report N1626 Intuition is back on the water and enjoying a new lease of life as a family dinghy up on the Clyde in Scotland.
Just filling in a gap in the history of Intuition I can report that she sailed in the Earlswood Lakes Vintage 12 Open Meeting in 1994.

Further to my post of 2008 I would still like to own Intuition again and my telephone number is still 0778 686 6099.
