sshh don't show them how nice it is on the Blackwater - they all might want to come!

Sorry don't know the boat or the girl.

I think she's a GEM micro tonner, designed by Rob Humpheys.

Dunno who's onboard though.

She is a Gem Micro tonner - I have sailed one, super wee boat. Modern Micros are much more extreme.

Definately a Gem - my brother in law has a Challenger built one - very nice little boat.

 

[PeteCooper]

But the Challenger Micro is very different to the Gem - I used to have a Challenger Micro. They both sail superbly however.

 

[LymingtonPugwash]

Yup.... definately a Gem Micro.... another innovative design at the time by Rob Humphreys...... designed to be a trailer sailer with lifting keel and remember seeing the first ones being built in Lymington in the 70's if I remember right, by Steve Wolfe, John Pearce and the rest of the Lymington farmyard builders if memory serves.... Seem to remember John Claridge being involved in some way at the time as well.....
