The origional owner was Dr  Prunty and it was first based at Frensham Pond SC. If I remember correctly the boat was glued clinker construction and had more of a U section than Jack Holt's normal V section. This boat was held to be a bit faster than the Jack Holt norm - if you could keep it upright!

I acquired Taeping in the Summer of 2011 and set about repairing her.  I think I have now finished and she is ready for the water under sail.  Here are some pictures taken 13 Mar 2012.

The poor rake seen in the photos above has been corrected by the addition of a custom-made mast step which can receive packing for rake adjustment.
