Does anyone have personal knowledge of her?

She was one of the boats I learned to sail in at Langston and the Solent in the early'70s. Back then she was owned by Fred Hilliar, a friend of my school teacher, Ron Outen.

She is a 30 foot gaff cutter with a 14ft bowsprit, over a hundred years old now.

I know she's up for sale and I've read all the write up on her. Now I'm trying to fight the urge to go and look her over. After, buying is just a short step from looking and I really don't have time to look after her at the moment.

Come to that, does anyone know Ron Outen of Emsworth?
I'd like to thank him.
