She still looks fantastic, keelbolts! It's great to see some recent pictures of the ol' fastnet champion. And you've probably seen this site already, but here's another boat built to Robert Clark's Favona design a few years later:
Thankyou. She is a fine boat, but I'm afraid it's about time to pass her along. Knowing, as you do, that nothing works on an old (plastic) boat but its owner, imagine the work on a 50 year old wood boat. Talk about a work in progress... I actually shifted from architecture to teaching in order to get the time to work on her. She's been my summer job for the last 10 or 12 years.
I am fimiliar with Syona and her sistership. Syona's bow was extended 6" which I think detracts from her beauty. I prefer a spoon bow to a pointy one.
