I am ashamed to say I have had her nearly 50 years.I was given her by a friend of my dad Tony Garrett who built her in 1952 in Sheffield
As a kid I didn't really appreciate what I had and she ended up first in a cellar then latterly in a barn.
I always had the intention of fixing her up but never got round to it
In the meantime I built loads of different types of models but this year I dug her out and there was the mast keel and 3 suits of sails just as she had been left
I feel better now that she has been saved and will sail again

I remember sailing her as a kid with the Braine gear which I didn't fully understand She certainly had a turn of speed

She had been raced in 1952 by her original owner and carries the Sheffield Model Yacht Club registration on her sails 1061

I have a yacht that has been in the family since the 50s at least, I must fix the missing rigging.
