Comments
Much more competitive boat since changing to the normal fin keel. Still extremely competitive and built regardless of cost. The boats sits on it's own cradle and can be seen in Dublin till 20th May. After that it will compete in Scottish Series and will be back in Hamble at the end of May, where it will compete in UK IRC Champs. and then Commodores Cup. She will be available immediately after Cork week (i.e. July 21st). She will be available for viewing at any of these events.

During the winter of 2006, we changed keels from an experimental trim tab keel to a normal fin keel and the results were exceptional and in 2007, in addition to winning Scottish Series last year, we also won Sovereigns Cup, the Royal Cork Spring and Autumn leagues, and finished 2nd in Dun Laoghaire week. The boat was owner-helmed for most of these regattas.
