Stimulus was based at Ripon sailing Club for a time in the early 1970's. She was in vgc at this point ine time. Does anyone know any thing about her after this?? How did she appear in the north of England? After all she had such an historic sail number in sailing with an excellent record.

I was the proud owner of "Alarum" in the mid 1970's in my teenage years at Ripon Sailing Club. The boat was a beauty with built in bouyancy tanks, suit of banks sails and the original Proctor mast with diamonds. However she was rather heavy and did like to nosedive on a run!! Who was the builder? We aquired her from the George family from Redesmere Sailing Club. The boat was sold to teacher who lived in Leeds around 1978. if anybody has any further record of the boat it would be interesting to know anything of her history.
What sailing clubs has she belonged to and was she successful in her prime ? Who was the original owner?
