Older GB designs

[Dave Kent]

Hi all,

Just wondering what happened to the earlier GB designs? Obviously we know what the changes can be made to the Polaris to modernise it. 

Soporific 

Sigma 6 “Northern Lights”

Octavia

Like most boats they are probably languishing in a shed or loft somewhere sadly.

There’s an active Octavia sailing at Setley.

Some of the GB pre- Renaissance designs no longer measure due to rules changes, so we're either grandfathered or made redundant. I don't think GB would regard them as competitive now anyway.

Hi, thanks Shaun, just wondered about them tis all!

An Octavia would measure and likely still be competitive. They tend not to be sailed though. I've not seen one.
