We brought it over from Wales in '94, and it was an excellent boat. My son has taken ownership and he is moving it to Santa Cruz California. He needs a number for U.S. Customs, so we are looking at a variety of options. Anyone interested in the 7m information I have is welcome to contact me at sailmahonebay@auracom.com.

The mast, boom and rigging all appear to be present as they should be. She is a triple keel. It is very sad that it is so hard to find a home for these great boats, but I fear that she will end up being scrapped.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2721983972631375788.post-46198295316187915812022-08-01T12:57:33.885+00:002022-08-01T12:57:33.885+00:00This article is from 2004, I don't know if the...This article is from 2004, I don't know if the original author checks this site.
