"I have bought Hull # 12 in september and shipped it on a cargoboat from Jacksonville to Gothenburg and then sailed the boat to its home port  Tønsberg in Norway (100 km south of Oslo). I hope to use the boat both for cruising and racing."

Prime Time


Located in Chula Vista, and listed on Yachtworld for $199K. This was dismasted and broken at the forward crossbeam while racing in the Gulf of Mexico, and has since been repaired.  I'm guessing this is hull #6 - anyone know for sure?
