Emotional Fish was built by Nigel Waller - epoxy over strip cedar hull and no foredeck with a space frame.  I owned the boat in 1992 and did the Exmouth Burton that year - there's a terrific photo of Anne and I in a flat out plane from the windy Tuesday race which now features in the Twelve history video - I was pretty much out of control at that point and looking at the shot, should have let off the kicker a bit.  Sold the boat in 1993 to a guy at Ranelagh - don't know what happened after that.
