Uffa Fox built a yacht designed by Knud Reimers
called Waterwitch and published her plans in the 1937 book Racing,
Cruising and Design.
Harry Bond built a model from these plans before
he set out to build Wings.
Launched in 1938 she has plenty of history and
character.
In 2001 her keel bolts were replaced along with
the deck so she is in a good seaworthy state.
The yacht has received some more restoration work
over the past 2 years and while she isn't considered completely
restored she is however ready to sail now and with most of the work
done, she would be a great project to finish.
The yacht comes with a Cat 7 racing certification
and all the safety gear required and she has Nav lights, Main Sail,
3 Genoas, 2 Spinnakers, new spinnaker sheets, an electric Outboard
and
She also comes with a mooring.
The class is currently growing in numbers and
interest with a new association formed last year and 3 major
restorations completed with more underway.
These yachts are considered to be the Ferrari of
the yachting world and are an absolute pleasure to sail.
The yacht is currently moored in Sydney, Middle Harbour.
Inspections welcome.
