The life of N2579 Scout Around. Design: Whisper 4, designed by: Phil Morrison in 1971

[Richard Emerson]

I owned N 2579 from sometime in the late 1990s to about 2000, having spotted her for sale at Port Edgar Marina,Edinburgh, and remembering sailing N 1262 as a teenager.  She was bright yellow and in fair condition. I renewed the side decks, repainted and revarnished her, but the consistent poor weather, summer after summer, meant I was hardly able to sail her.
I gave her away to a fellow member (£25 to club funds) at Loch Earn Sailing Club in reasonably good condition, though sails and rigging were tired and the centre plate had an alarming habit of popping up when going about.

Sadly ended her life sat in a garden in Coalsnaughton before being broken up and burnt around 2012.
