Hello all I now own 172 which is an original spark with the red strips on the hulls.
She has travelled quite a bit including spending time at Bahrain Yacht Club. She has a plaque on the port hull with her club number and this is also written on the sails and sail bag. I was informed that she also spent time in Kuwait as well.
My plan is to tidy up the hulls over the next few months and service the rudders. I plan to slowly replace worn out parts as i go having already done the standing rigging, main sheet and the toe straps.
