Very few had been collected by British buyers - the honourable exceptions are:
Minisail & Gull 1 (Jolly Roger) - back to the Proctors.
Hope - museum and restoration on IoW. The subject of an article in Classic Boats by great niece.
Nimbus - back to the Westells for restoration.
Zeus & Negaunee - well done Bill (this thread)
Merhonour, Catherine, Imp & 669 - Morgan-Giles Museum. Well done Jane Shaddick.
Ben Her - Norfolk
Flying 10 & 12 (Autumn Mist) - museum and restoration on IoW.
Corona - in Norfolk for restoration
The remaining forty-three are off to China. Including Ultimate and Penultimate POW winners in more or less "dust off and go sailing" condition, a pre-War National 12 with sails and gear, a perfecltly good Fireball, etc...
