Standing rigging replaced in 2015 Owners comments: "As far as I know, the sails are original. The first owner sailed her as a cutter. When the second owner decommissioned the cutter I think the Yankee was rested along with the staysail. I suppose the Genoa was then put in service, but I don't know when that was.
The cruising chute may well be younger. She had been delivered to the first owner cutter rigged. The subsequent owners had removed the inner fore stay for ease of handling.
We reinstated the cutter rig, all the parts had been handed over. She has 'diamond stays' aloft so no need for running back stays. ""
