Dainty Too

Sail Number 11 Built 1922

History

The last wooden rater constructed Dainty Too was built for FG Mitchell of Thames S.C. in 1922 by Turk of Kingston, to the design of JM Soper. Her bluff bows make her look unlike any other rater, and she has had a mixed record, combining lack lustre seasons with some highly successful ones, notably winning the Queen's Cup three times running. Dainty Two - Currently Normally sailed by Brian Reed, David Frost and Patrick Walmsley. She is now mainly sailed at Bourne End and is a regular competitor in races at Upper Thames SC where she has introduced other club members to the delights of rater sailing.
