It was built for Adnan Cashoggi (sp)(arms dealer), in about 1970. there was gonna be two built, but I think it didn't quite cut the mustard speed wise, so only one made it to production. they were gonna be tenders to his superyacht.

At some point, Andy Judge bought the boat from Cashoggi, and raced it.

It then got a pair of mercruiser 350 magnum V8s in it, and was bought and raced by Allan Prebble in Touring class for a year or two.

It eventually ended up with Tony Hamilton, who re-fitted it with the original type Volvo straight 6 motors, and Volvo 'E' drives (speedmaster lowers)

That's about all I know about it.

It was 'blast from the past'

According to andy judge the boat used to handle like a pig

When I purchased her she was in a terrible state both the magnums shot. I sold her to Tony who looks like it he has done a nice job.

Its good to see her back on form
