another 14 finds a good home

[davidh]

Ed and co..........

I've cut and pasted in a note I've just had from Vanessa, who by dint of being a Contender Sailor (and therefore one of life's lucky people) made contact..... though sadly this time it refers on to a 14. Can anyone help her at all..........

Hi David, I am looking for soem help with the restoration of a classic i14 that I have just bought via ebay. The boat is called 'Agamemnon', is sail number 869, was built in 1965 by W. Richardson (I'm told she is a Proctor VIII) and was sailed by John Prentice. She is in surprisingly good condition and should soon be ready for a sail but I have no idea how she should be rigged. What I'm looking for are any photos or drawings that might show me how such a boat would look, or even better, to see one! Do you have any suggestions as to where I might find such information? By the way, you recently just outbid me on a lovely wooden contender for sale in Chippenham - I hope you were pleased with it. I have a clutch of contenders sitting in my back garden, waiting to be shipped to Canada for the worlds in August. My favourite boats of all time. Best wishes, Vanessa
