Sail Number 7 Built in 1906
Photograph from the Archives of the A-Rater Association
Designed by the great Linton Hope and built by Burgoine in 1906 for CP Gosnell of Thames SC. In 1919, when other
boats were using Gunter rigs, Saucy Sally tried out a Bermuda rig, which was soon copied by others.
It was just one example of the way Raters were at the forefront of yachting innovation for so long. A successful boat,
but, like Vanessa, designed to operate as an 'A' or smaller 'B' Rater, which nowadays makes it hard for her against her
bigger sisters.
Saucy Sally - Was owned by Thames S.C. and laid up for many years but now no longer exists, and last sailed in the 80s, and maybe longer ago.
