Where is Sabu?

[chrisjpotter]

Does anyone know of the wherabouts of "Sabu" an offshore racer built for Arthur Slater (of Prospect of Whitby and Admiral's Cup fame)

She was varnished mahogany and was built around 1962, I believe that she was designed by Illingworth and Primrose but I am not certain; Slater's later boats were S&S

Thanks for your response but it is unlikely that this is the boat in question it was definitely spelt "Sabu", why would you change the spelling of a boat's name? Also (although she could have been re-rigged) she was definitely a sloop in 1963!

Definitely not Saboo (Sandy Alone Built One Off) as Saboo was completed in 1965 was never a sloop was built in Scotland and didn't sail on the South Coast until at least the late '80's
