Bermudan Cutter designed by A.N. Prickett and built by Keith Nelson at his yard in Bembridge, IOW in 1952.

Prickett was Chief Structures Engineer at Saunders Rowe, Cowes, and frequently had entries in Yachting World design competitions along with Dr Harrison Butler.

Used regularly by the current owner for cruising around the Solent and surrounding coasts, but ill health forces her sale.
