Saw it at Rutland and we were most impressed and thought long and hard. It is the fact that it is comletey up to date except for the carbon effect and looks tremendous. I can't justify it despite the knockdown price. \r\n\r\nI know that I'll kick myself for years to come.

Remarkably still for sale! a couple more photos on Flickr too. Performed  well at Rutland for its shake down.\r\n\r\nAlso a generous offer by Gareth at The Notting Hill Rigging Co. to convert the rig to Carbon very economically means that all of the options are open to potential buyers.

"The carbon parts are certainly more plentiful and less expensive than they used to be s/h, very little else would need changing, just a bit of calibration and small adjustments to the standing rigging - the running rigging would swap straight over."

"Still available, a lot of photos on flickr, link above, really nice boat and great value for a boat needing no repairs or attention - just add water for a lot of fun for the modest outlay!"

"Go for it, nothing worse than telling everyone that the boat that everyone is admiring, is the one you nearly bought!"

The carbon conversion isn't as expensive as you might think... Drop me a line and we can work something out.

Bizarrely the lovely Tales of Marco Polo is still for sale - I was convinced that the first to see or sail her would be smitten and buy immediately, such a bargain, but so far, no one has been to have a look !!
 
I'm hoping now Salcombe is done and we've got more sunny weather more people might be inclined to get afloat!
 
Such a shame she's no being raced every week.
