Built in 1975/76 by Aln Boatyard for P. Rainey of Blithfield SC. Her name was 'Solace'.

& IIRC the reason for the name was that according to the MR Book, she was won in a raffle and the 1st owner's original Admiral Benbow had been written off in an accident.

Just bought the hull for £10.50 and in good condition so any info would be welcome.

Quote from MR book "Also at the (1975) championships was the prizewinner of another raffle for a new Merlin Rocket with the pre-allocated number 3000, Peter Rainey. Having had the misfortune to have had a boat which he had commissioned from Martin Jones written off in an accident, Peter used his raffle prize to have another Admiral Benbow design built by Aln Boatyard.
