Wondered if anyone know of the where abouts or the history of 2859, Rowsell built Ghost Rider I think. I owned it for a couple of seasons in the 80's, sailed it at Helensburgh in Scotland then sold it to someone on the east coast I think.

just curious

thanks

According to the 1975 year book MR2859 originally called 'FINIS' is a Gregory designed Ghost Rider built in 1973 or more probably 1974 by her first owner J E Finney, 2 The Chase, Honiton, Devon and Exe SC.
The 1977 YB shows a new owner as P W L Stait, Hellidon, Nr Daventry, Northants NN11 6LG and Banbury SC.
By 1980 the owner had moved to 3 Bond Close, Horwich, Bolton, Lancs and Bolton SC. 
I regret my 1981 YB has been lost but the 1982 book shows the owner A Lawrence, 38 Forbes Rd, Edinburgh  and Royal Findhorn.
By 1986 her name had been changed to 'Wide Vehicle'and she was owned by G Busby, 1 Dhuhill Drive East, Helensburgh, Dunbartonshire.
In 1989 she was owned by D Dunlop, 16 Craighouse Gardens, Edinburgh and Port Edgar.

I am sorry but looking at later year books shows no further owners.
I have spoken with Spud Rowsell. He can't remember the boat so the year books are probably correct in recording that it was built entirely by her first owner.

Many thanks fo the sleuth work.
