Thunderbolt

 

Designed by Graham Schields and built by Quilkey Bros., she was unfortunately forced to retire last year.

Now sporting a new mast and larger sail plan she should show her paces particularly as she has also been modified underwater with the object of obtaining greatly increased speed.
