Sail Number 3 Built in 1911
Photograph of Surf from the UTSC Archives
Currently (2025) Surf is at UTSC where she has been scanned and deconstructed. Owned by Richard Stent he is rebuilding Surf from the scans to make an identical copy and keeping a few parts of the original. Very little original left. Not been sailed for at BEW for at least a decade.
All is left is the keel with holes in it to reduce the weight. Surf is the longest of the A-Raters and now most the the damaged wood has been removed work can start on creating the frames or ribs of the boat. It doesn't look much like a boat at present.
The bow is really all that is left, but we could see how this had been damaged and was a recent replacement ans the plank lines were not a smooth curve.
