From "Spirit" webside 2017: "A while later, Alan Thomas and Mike Golding (then a fireman), offered to buy her. They entered lengthy negotiations until one day they came with a truck and took her away... without paying the rumour goes!

Originally the only carbon used was in the beams. After completion Spirit then "Spirit of England" went on to pursue a long and successful racing career at the hands of Peter Clutterbuck."

2014 From "Spirit" webside 2017: "At the end of 2014 while she was ashore in the Whitsunday Islands she underwent a major refit at the hands of Jason and Claudia with all her systems being overhauled if not replaced. Her interior and cockpit were redesigned and spaces that were more functional and suited to long term cruising were built. Boat builder Ian Willet was instrumental during this time and was hired to oversee all the modifications that were made. Their aim was to create a platform where they could both live as simply and efficiently as possible while and as close to nature. Other main goals have been to produce all onboard power by sustainable methods such as solar. And since June 2015 Spirit has been powered 100% from the sun! Spirit is their home and this site was created to share her history and future adventures with like minded people."
