Great find. The fellow who sent me the pic said he was pretty sure it was originally a Cig in the photo.

Tony had the boat for a while and sold it to the current owner the night of the second P1 race at Cowes 06.

For about 60,000 pounds less, I think I'd go for this one.

Now with the history of that boat (assuming it's the real deal) you would think they'd be queing up to buy that bad boy! especially with the #6's, and fresh Eikherts'!

It cost me more to build my 28 than the asking price on that.

Admitedly, I would be just a tad scared by the running costs.

Top Banana has posted on another site that is has just been bought by a HORBA board member. It's the original.
