Hello everyone,





I’m researching the early history of my yacht and hoping someone might recognise her.





Boat details:





Contessa 34 (Jeremy Rogers)


Original name: JAMES BOND


Sail number: K 3895


Official number: 700473


Originally sold to: Tri Sail Ltd, Chester


UK Port of registry: Southampton





The yard records also mention Lloyds certificate 210347.





Later known owners include:


Gordon Alexander Gibb (Glasgow)


Alistair Speers (Northern Ireland / France)





The boat is now in the Netherlands and currently named Pegasus, but I intend to restore the original name.





I am particularly looking for:





• early owners or skippers


• race entries or results


• photographs


• confirmation of the original hull number





Given the sail number K3895, I believe she may have raced under the IOR rule in the late 1970s or early 1980s.





If anyone recognises the boat or the company Tri Sail Ltd (Chester) I would love to hear from you.
