certainly is.

Suspect would be before 1965, but would need to check books and stuff.

will do so if I find the time or unless someone else beats me to it.

According to the Finn Register, which is woefully out of date I'm afraid, or at least my copy is, Finn K214 is an Elvstrom hull in GRP, made in 1965. It was originally ordered by Brian Saffery-Cooper, so had a good pedigree. It was named Musketeer, and ownership transferred to R.Davies in 1970. Sadly, it then slips from the record. These dates are borne out by results in Finnatics, though K214 doesn't actually appear herself. According to the Register, the BFA does have a copy of the original certificate if you want one.

Regards
