Comment from Facebook 2022, Nick Bray "I
wrote about this on another post, and if I’m wrong I would love to be
corrected. For a while, my family owned and we sailed/raced the sister ship
of Imp, Agape.
The two were built for the 1978 (?) Canada’s Cup. Imp was chosen over
Agape to compete, and lost. The way I heard it, the conditions ended up favoring
Agape. Anyway, it’s impossible to take away from the success of
Imp, her track record is breathtaking…. But damn, double handing Agape
(then, MATRIARCH) with my dad was a hell of a ride."
"Was in Charleston SC for a while. I was going
to take her back to Ireland on her hull but she needed too much work. She
was eventually shipped back. I think around 2014."

"Signature Paypay, today at SA: "Anyone know
what this is? or was rather... At one time this was a pretty cool
boat. It is beyond repair now. Very thin deck which is soft everywhere. No
keel, no rudder, no rig no hardware. Looks like it was a tiller boat. Aluminum
keel frames. The rest is fiberglass."
"There's a batten down below that says shore sails.
Other than that you cant read the name on the back. Looks like the boat was
green at one point."
"Is she rotting in Maine?"
