History

Originally called Latona Vanessa was designed and built by Burgoine in 1902. First sailed at Thames S.C. she later moved to Upper Thames SC. She was deliberately built relatively small so that, according to her sail area, she could race either as an 'A' Rater or a smaller slower 'B' Rater.

Changes in handicapping make if difficult for her to compete against the larger boats, but after recent work she has been back in the water and sailing fairly regularly, and sometimes showing flashes of real potential.

Currently she is being restored
