Notes

3nd place in a 'Yachting World' design competition of 1949. Limited production didn't begin until 1958. The Mk ll was introduced in 1962 with a fractional rig and a laminated coach roof with raised doghouse. Returned to masthead rig with a Mk III version of which few were built. (shown here)
All together it is thought the about 50 were turned out.
