Osprey

A steady winner of trophies Osprey had nevertheless seemed to miss out on the big ones - until 1998, when helmed by Paul Browning it took the Queen's Cup for the first time. Since then Osprey has been one of the most regularly sailed boats in all competitions, and despite not having the extensive refurbishments carried out on other boats, Osprey remains highly competitive.

This is a tribute to the skill of Paul Browning, who had a series of enthralling battles with Vagabond in the year 2000. The team have been successful in obtaining sponsorship and maybe this could be the way for all the fleet.
