talisman 18

[dwl]

Does anyone have any information on a Talisman 18. I have been restoring one for the past 2 years and would like to find some history of it. I would estimate that it dates from the 1960's and has the sail number 55.

Could it be what was H.C. Banham of Riverside Works, Cambridge?

Don't know but I would think highly probable.
