This boat was bought by my dad DA Whitehead in 1968, from Roger Wilkinson of Yorkshire Ouse SC. I remember that an Italian had finished the boat off from a Rowsell hull. This resulted in some lovely spruce toestrap bars which ran the length of the cockpit, creating huge bruising to both helm and crew!
I think the boat was sold in about 1973.
