The life of N2902 Stealth.  Design: Cheshire Cat, designed by: Michael Jackson in 1973

N2902 was re-named "Stealth" in 2003 by Jon Bradbury, to whom I had given the boat as a restoration project. Having re-decked her he then, for reasons best known to his (then) 16 year old imagination, coated her hull and decks with graphite mixed with epoxy. The name was given to her by everyone else who saw this apparition looming up behind them on the water.

The other memorable feature was that Jon rather over-did the graphite, with the result that anyone who came into contact with the boat looked as though they were covered in soot.

He sold her through e-bay in about 2004 - outside the club. (Chipstead)

2902 was bought as a hull by me from Impact and decked at home.  It was then called Sorcery and I sold it in about 1979.  It was sailed at Spinnaker and at Hamble River plus 2 Burton Weeks. I have pictures of its build if anyone is interested. Many good memories
