I remember it as he invited me down for the hand over a we did 250 miles around the Greek Islands in one week end. We took it back when he replaced it with a XRS37. This is how it looked then

That's the same picture Jeff sent me, the one he thought was mine, however mine had 2 engines not one, so a little confused??

I think the boat was bought by someone in Southampton after the sinking and some of the Hunton guy`s renewed the headlining & upholstery about 5/6years ago. Lost track after that.

Just realised that is the boat that I now have,

Anyone know what engines were fitted in, Raven Estates, Harvester Bread & Make-a-Break when raced and are these boats still around?

Thanks

There is an RS in Alderney stripped out for sale, saw it last week but couldnt see a name on it.

I've been in touch with a guy selling one. It's twin Volvo and he doesn't know what it is. I used YouTube experts to find out for me.
Take a look and if anyone can shed any light on its history would be great.
It looks like the dash and seating have been replaced with after market stuff?

And I'm the new owner of the above boat and hopefully I'll get sometime with it after this lockdown ends.

For those of you who wondered what happened to the former Lady M, we bought her from a guy in Kent and restored her to her former glory ready for the Cowes -Torquay 60 th this year.

We managed to spend hour sanding and polishing her back to her original race colours of Lady Arrans Hell's Angels and undertake our first race last weekend at Poole.
