Looks to be in pretty good condition.  New Potato is another rare design that just didn't catch on at the time but with a modern rig & big kite should be pretty competitive - after all we know the boat was right once as a championship winner.  After spending the best part of 2 days achieving not a lot bimbling the one boat I have, I know I definitely do not want another!

She sold for £107 

So someone got a great project. Looks like a superb boat... Let's hope that the new owner gets in touch with the class and keeps us all updated
