1979 HALF TON CUP, Hollande: 8e/?. M. P. RICHARDSON

1996 She was found rotting in the mud on the river Medway, in a very tired and delapidated condition by the present owner, David EVANS.

Over the years she has been extensively rebuilt and refitted, Only the GRP moldings and keel are original. Unlike most Half-tonners she is fully fitted out downstairs and has a double role as a comfortable cruising boat. She now also sports a big diesel on a sail-drive - no more horrible leaking hydraulic drive!
