Gavin King "Meghan ex 'Honey Honey' is/was well known in the south coast area and was raced regularly during times of the 'IOR' rating. I am very proud that I have tried to maintain her original configuration ie keel,rig and sail plan despite many IOR 1/2 tonners being 'modernised'. "

2024 From Facebook "the photo was taken at Bosham near Chichester in the UK, Found this in a yard on the south coast UK yesterday... looks like an IOR half tonner to me but there was no identifying features to reinforce that... the stern looks vaguely familiar from my own IOR days (though not in that colour) but cannot recall the yacht’s name or designer? Any ideas? Appears to be cold-moulded build"
