I owned Punkahwallah from about 1978 to 1981 buying from Nigel who had not got round to building me the new Pipedream I wanted. She was a fantastic inland boat but always overweight. Nigel took some weight out for me and I competed in and around Nottingham with moderate success. I replaced her with a newer lighter boat but it was never as quick. I'm pleased to hear that John Sears is stil sailing her - his father taught me as a junior doctor and I have much to thank him for.
