Most of her history was documented by her previous Owner Les Weeks who carried out an extensive renovation over 6 years, with recommissioning in 2014. Her planking, frames and most of the centreline structure are however original. Bought by her present owner in 2019 who sailed her to Portugal where she is currently based.
