At the Dundee regatta 2009 and part rebuilt to her proper configuration she took a 1st in steering and docking. This Napier design took me by surprise with her agility which is truly amazing. If the full size performs like her, it is little surprise that she still fishes today 37 years after her launch.
Maurice Napier was a canny designer
Hi Jay. My dad when he retired, did a half hull for Maurice destined for a Bahamas yacht club. The drawing for Sharlyn was obtained for the purpose of filling in his retirement days. However, even though he was an excellent pattern-maker, he confessed that modelling was not his forte. That's how I started off on boats. Still learning on the job as well.
later named the spes maris is she still fishing and any up to date photos of the boat
Yes still fishing as LH193. I believe she's over in Northern Ireland. I've only seen one recent pic but on another site.
tried looking for picture on other site but none
