Hi, I wonder if anyone with access to the archives might know of the history of the Phantom Kipper, 2825, currently named "Another Tartan Sunrise" with the distinctive livery of a yellow hull and red stripe, and a yellow spinaker with a red band across. I only have the yearbook for this year. The previous owner has very kindly passed the boat on to me and I would be interested to know how such a distinctive identity was bestowed on the boat, as he was unsure of the boats history.
Many thanks in anticipation

2825 'Lindisfarne' was probably built in lat1973 or early 74 by Bob Hoare at Christchurch.
Her first owner is recorded as R S D Morton of 37 Arnison Rd, East Molesey, Surrey.
Her name was changed to ' Another Tartan Sunrise', before the 1976 YB went to the printer, by her new owner D Costain of Claremont, William St, Dunoon, Argyll and Holy Loch SC.
By 1977 he/she had moved to Cheshire and then Manchester and had joined Bala SC.
In 1982 she was owned by R Powell at Redditch SC and in 1987 by P Anderson of the same club.
By 1994 she was owned by M Page, 18 Inglewood Ave, Heatherside, Camberley, GU 15 1RJ and of Queen Mary SC.
I don't think the year books show any further changes.
Hope this helps.

Thnk you very much for the history - It is facinating to see how much the boat has travelled. There are still Queen Mary SC stickers on the transom, but I have collected the boat from Burghfield SC near the M40 Theale where it has been for a couple of years. The previous owner did say it was found at QM SC but in need of some repairs which were completed and have lasted well until recently. Interesting also to find it was once only a few miles away in Reddich. Its new home will be at the Banbury Sailing Club.
Thanks again for the information.

Another one for the Banbury fleet then - that takes us up to 11 on the water.  KM had better give me a call (01926 812694) or send an email as I will have to find a spot for you - my last spare place went last week when we also gained Galactic Gnu.

Hi Richard - sent an email last night through info@ the web site so it should be with you soon - will call as well - Kieron.
