Hi

I've got one, which I bought Aug 05.  I am new to the class and in light winds it has been great fun leading the club around the race course.  Overall she has been great so far and we are planning to go to Northampton and Burton Week to see how we get on.

Pete brought Rough Diamond to Salcombe in 1981 and showed great boatspeed - I'm sure he would have won the week had he not made a few poor starts and chosen his courses more wisely! A good choice of design - they seemed well put together too.

Cheers
