Does this mean I'm related to Seajet?

My brother (in Ireland) has just announced an addition to the family - an Anderson 22. He's currently in that 'I know this is going to hurt but I also know it's going to be fun' period!
I suspect Seajet will soon be his new bezzy!

Your brother is clearly a man of taste.

I know most of the A22's in Ireland, if he's not already in touch get him to mail me if he wishes; we can usually pass on useful tips etc - my e-mail is on the website in the signature below.

I think he's already been in touch. He's now the proud owner of A22 'August' nee 'Anderson Adventure'. Loved up with first boat syndrome (which I still have) so he's just a couple of years behind me in the 'how do I fix a hole in this'? stakes!

He's got a little piece of history there then, one of the 3 Mini Transat boats; last photo I saw of her she still had the astrodome and slightly shortened bow to fit in the 6.5 metre race rule.

... she still had the astrodome and slightly shortened bow to fit in the 6.5 metre race rule.

Would that not make her an Anderson 21 and 7/8ths?

Any piccies? We do love lots of photies.

I'll ask bro if he minds me posting a pic but it is the one with the dome (needs it, he's 6'5" tall!) and the shortened bow.

That reminds me.
Here's one moored near me in Strangford lough, although I have never seen it sailing yet.
