2007 From "RB Sailing blog": She was bought by Swedish yachtsman Lars Klingstrom. Lars has embarked on an incredible restoration of Flirt of Paget, and has applied a level of perfectionism and attention to detail that has drawn many admirers through his regular posts and updates in the Sailing Anarchy forums. More photographs from that and her restoration can be seen here.

2013 She was shown to the public at the Gothenburg Boat Show (Sweden)

2024 April, For Sale Ron Holland 1-ton, 1981, FLIRT OF PAGET, Price: Highest bidder with free trial. Built in New Zealand in 1981 as a light and rigid Grand Prix racer, the Flirt of Paget was groundbreaking at the time with an internal spaceframe that was integrated with the mast's ring frame, shroud and strut. The boat is unique and attracts a lot of attention wherever you sail, if you are interested I recommend that you come and look at her. Sweden's most renowned boat designer Gabriel Heyman has designed the interior, deck layout and sail drawing and it has turned out that it works very well. There is a construction blog on sailing anarchy: https://forums.sailinganarchy.com/index.php?/topic/117372-restoration-ron-holland-ior-racer-flirt-of-paget-2/ She is built in cold-baked KAURI a completely rot-resistant New Zealand wood, two diagonal layers and a horizontal layer on the outside, 20x20 lamelled frames each 120 mm make the hull extremely strong and rigid, the deck is made of plywood and balsa (6, 20, 6 mm) and on top there is biaxial 400 g carpet and NM 276 epoxy. Inside, there is an aluminum ring bulkhead and a tubular structure that connects the grate iron, forestay and backstay with the ring bulkhead, keel and berth fronts, modified to blend in with the boat's interior. This results in an extremely light and strong construction. The hull and deck are painted with Awlgrip paint, below the waterline the hull is impregnated with NM 276, laminated with epoxy and biaxial 400 g carpet before Hempel's light primer and antifouling. Measure: LOA: 12.44 m LWL: 10.77 m Width: 3.75 m Depth: 2,25 m Displacement: 7800 kg Ballast: 3058 kg Height above water: 20.16 m Mast tube length: 19.05 m Motor + system Sole' MINI 44, 42 HP, 3000 rpm, 2020 <300 hours running Reverse gear with straight shaft 30 mm, universal joint, from Aqua drive Shaft seal: PSS mechanical shaft seal Propeller Maxprop 19", approx. 8 knots Matervolt 50 amp shore power charger Battery Bank: Lithium-ion batteries 300 amp, 2021 Diesel tank: 150 litres Fresh water: 300 litres in two tanks Septic tank: approx. 70 litres, deck and emptying Rig Axxon carbon fiber mast, clear lacquered Hydraulic mast foot, separate hydraulic pump included Selden Carbon Fiber Boom Selden Carbon Fiber Spin Boom with Twaron Cover Facnor RC reel, low build Rodrigg 2020 Asymmetrical headsail ready Sail Mainsail, carbon fiber taffeta Lundh sails 2020 Fock carbon fiber taffeta 105% Lundh sails 2021 Navigation Raymarine Axiom 9" Plotter, Steering Wheel Pedistal Raymarine Axiom 9" Chartplotter at Hub Station In 60&70 instruments 2 Raymarine Alpha 9" display for mast mounting 2024 Raymarine 6001 autopilot AIS transponder McMurdo Sailor VHF KVH compasses Deck equipment Lewmar racing and custom-made fittings 20 kg ULTRA marine anchor PVD black 10 m chain and 40 m line 5 kg DANFORTH anchor as a draught Lewmar deck hatches and port lights The boat is available for immediate delivery and berth for 2024 and possibly 2025 is included on the west coast.
