Fairey Atalanta - new owner needed

[davidej]

I have an elderly friend with his Atalanta in his garden which he is obviously never going to get on the water again. He we using it until a couple years ago so it can't be in too bad condition. But he really needs to get rid of it.

I have looked on on the owners association website and there are several restoration jobs free to a new owner.

Any ideas?

Do you know which one it is? They are rather special boats...

I think Peter Crowther sailed one in the '76 OSTAR.
Galway Blazer?
Red Hull?

Similar construction but different designer and rig and size

That boat was a purpose designed, junk rigged ocean racer designed for (I think) Bill King, very different in oh so many ways.
