Can Do Too,
mid 90s Colin Rankin achéte le bateau et le nomme Can Do Too. A new Thompson-designed mast was fitted and moved aft 500mm. The new mast is 1.4m longer than the original, has 2 sets of swept-back spreaders so the running back-stays have gone. A long, Thompson-designed fin-bulb keel was also fitted. The boat now draws 8 feet and is considerably more stable.
