Francette, when owned by Eric Sumner, competed in the 1972 Single Handed
Transatlantic Race, was 31st over the line and came 8th on Handicap. She made
the crossing in 43 days. - It is understood that, for this, her rig was
shortened and she was substantially reinforced.
She comes complete with liferaft and aluminium beaching legs by the Yacht Leg Company. |
