One of the last 13 remaining yachts built by Charles Sibbick in the world. Restored in fully authentic appearance. Hull with all original planks still intact. Restoration started from a derelict hull in 1996 and was completed in 2002; she was restored to her original appearance and rig using only the same materials and fittings as built.
