Name changed to Roly Mo some time after 1999

[Roly Mo]

When we bought 'Roly Mo' from Antony it had another name (can't remember what it was!) but having had 3347 'Aquafrolic' we thought we'd keep the theme and call it 'Aquaholic'.  Registered the boat with Kevin and then Ellie saw it.  Straight away the colour scheme caught her eye, and she shouted out 'it's Roly Mo' - those with small children will understand (as Antony tells us he now does).  Early sails in the boat gave helm and crew some very 'roly mo's' and the name just seemed so apt that it changed again . . .

Roly Mo is sailed regularly on the Northern and Scottish circuits.

We aquired N3447 in April 2015. Name changed to 'Caught in the Rain' from Roly Mo and a paint job is planned in the winter. Hopefully CITR will be sailed at a club level with appearances on the Northern circuit.
