The British Moth have two big ticks in the box - I started my sailing career in them (dear old 296 - it weighed a ton but I loved it... I would imagine that this is long gone now) and bang up to date -people in the...

Re: GRP British Moth
One posibility (grasping at straws) is 516, Blue Mist, which was a Webster GRP from that part of the world.
