Arne, thank you for the infos and your solid memory!
Yes, seeing the picture, I can confirm it is definitely the China Blue I acquired.
I tried to lookup the name of its owner at the time, but they don't show anymore on the members list.
What a shame, as I have so little information of the history of this boat. Her latest british registry (attached) mentions that she was built in 1984, and also that:
- Hull: Seaborne Engineering ltd, Unit 7, Willments shipyard, Hazel Road, Woolston, Southampton
- Fitted out: George Bernard Arthur Young, engineer, and Henry Collin Matthew Young, engineer, both living in Havervill, Suffolk.
- Owners: George Bernard Arthur Young and Henry Collin Matthew Young
No need to say I have investigated on these infos, but with no result.
So again, if any of you, dear fellow members, have more info on this boat, I'd be delighted to add them to her story.
Although, what is past is past, and is as useless as altitude above or runway behind, as we used to say when I was flying!
