Chay Blyth\'s GBll?

Is GB2 still around? Anyone know her recent history/location/ownership etc.

Once was lucky enough to sail her as United Friendly...

Re: Chay Blyth\'s GBll?

I was on "GBII" for a year from 1992 to 1993. The company that owned her went bust soon after. After that her history seems to be quite sketchy, I once bumped into her in Cowes around 1995/6 but after that who knows. Her last name I believe was Whitbread Heritage, but web searches have proved fruitless. Such a shame that there was little money available for her upkeep as she was undoubtedly a wonderful old girl.

PM me if you'd like some photo's of her when I was on board.

The last time I heard of her she was on the South Coast (Lymington, possibly) still called Whitbread Heritage.

I sailed the United Friendly in 1984 with Paul Bishop as captain. Was this the same time that you sailed it?

GBII was moored on the River Medina during 2014, still was last time I passed. It was out for a sail on Round-the-Island day. No idea of ownership, etc. it looks in reasonable if not top condition.

British Steel, which I think was his first boat, is on the same trot as me in the Dart. Hasn't moved for many years, seems to be slowly rotting away.
