Champagne was built for Adria Merton.Built with a wood rather than a plastic deck Champagne was a formidable performer when first launched, mostly
helmed by Martin Hunter, and in 1994/95 won most of the major trophies. She was based at UTSC at Bourne End for several years. Champagne had extensive work done to her decks over the winter of 2004-5.
She moved to the River Trent for quite a few years. With an aging crew it is hoped that she will return to the River Thames some time in the future.
