Contender Sailnumber 1257

Post by ent228 »

This one is currently rotting away on the harbour wall at Paignton. It's a composite, decks are wrecked.

Does anyone know who made it and if it has any history. Square cockpit drains

A composite boat with square drain holes - you've a 90%+ certainty that this is a Tony Smith/Ian Ridge boat. Good boats but pre K388 (1257 would be, I guess, the plaque number) and thus easier to sail but in the end, not as quick.

Thanks,

I'd like it but tracking down the owner is really tricky, harbour authorities and data protection...
