Prelude siling boat

[zingiber]

Anybody out there know anything about the Prelude sailing boat? About 19', built by Rydgeway Marine, Suffolk (do they still exist? No web page evident). Mine is a centreboard version, there are certainly twin keel versions. Is there an Owners Association? Any info gratefully received; I've just bought one with zero manuals etc.
Thanks

A siling boat?

I promise I wasn't correcting your spelling. I just thought your spelling should go with a blue ensign and a bloke drinking gin. 'I say, it's almost dark. Aren't you going to tik your insign dine?'

She's an Ian Proctor design, so you could have done a lot worse.

Re: Prelude sailing boat

Lovely little boat - 19ft Ian Proctor design. Built by Ridgeway Marine who evolved into Pegasus Yachts and are still based in Oulton Broad nr Lowestoft. Not sure whether they still are building them but they should be able to help with spares etc.
We had a lift keel version & sailed her on the Norfolk Broads. Loads of them around.
