FROM "THE DAILY SAIL.COM" 2014, extract:
Where are they now?
Help us locate Whitbread boats of the past...
1973-74
Sayula 2 (winner) - Swan
65 Fine story. Still owned by Ramon Carlin and cruised around Mexico
Adventure - Nicholson 55 from 'Longy'
14/7/10: "...seen out in Hawaii mid 1980s, owned by Arapoff. Might still
be out there. New name, don't remember." From Ben Peter (23/7/10): Was
used as a joint Service training vessel sailing from HMS Dolphin in the late
90s. From John Spottiswood 10/8/10: Adventurer was given by the JSSC
to the Russian Navy a few year back I understand
Grand Louis - 60ft staysail schoner
Guia - Georgio Falck 45ft sloop From Andrew Troup (2/10/12):
This was the first of a succession of at least four owned by Italian steel
magnate Giorgio Falck. Guia (the original Sparkman and Stephens RTW boat)
is in good condition, as shown here. She has been racing under the same ownership
since 1998 on the Med Classic circuit, and is currently listed for sale. Guia
III did not make it to a Whitbread, having sunk mid-Atlantic after being hit
by multiple whales while being skippered in a race by an erstwhile acquaintance
of mine, Jérôme Poncet, who told the amusing anecdote of waking
to a boat chock full of Italians stampeding to and fro, shouting "Balena,
Balena !!!"
Kriter - Auzepy-Brenneur 68
Spent 17 years unloved and untouched in Newport, RI before returning to French
ownership and a full restoration program.
Great Britain II -
77ft Alan Gurney design. Competed in first five Whitbreads: 1981 United
Friendly, 1985 Norsk Data GB, 1989 With Integrity. John Burnie writes
(11/7/10): Saw this yacht in Horta in June this year as we passed through.
She is now in private ownership and called Whitbread Heritage. Read more
about her here. From Mark Watkins (15/7/10): I was in fact on Whitbread
Heritage (formerly GBII) on the delivery trip from Antigua to Lymington
via Horta back in May / June. The boat has been in private ownership for many
years now, the current owner having had it for approximately 12 years. She
spent Xmas in the Canaries then went over to the Caribbean in January until
May. She’ll be in the Solent for the next few months (Cowes I think)
& will be doing corporate hospitality for Cowes Week this year. I think
the plan is to then head out to the Med for the Winter & beyond that I’m
not sure!
Second Life - Roddie Ainslie's Ocean 71 Roddy
Ainslie writes: "Second life was used as a sort of poor mans charter
boat for a year or two after the 73-74 race then finally sold to an American
who spent a fair amount on the interior, some new sails etc and then the new
owner cruised her around the Med for a while. She was later seen moored in
Chesaspeake Bay. The next time I heard of her was some years later, it was
rumoured that she had been sold by the American Government having been caught
drug running. Then about five years ago I understand she sank in the Caribbean
having taken on a lot of water very suddenly, Fortunately no one was hurt."
British Soldier (ex British Steel) 59ft

She is in pretty good shape, not much modified from the original, and in the
storage we have even sails from Whitbread! Now, working as a charter boat,
sail every year on the Nord Sea and Baltic - being our most occupied boat
for both club and charter trips. I've already talk with my clubmates to go

Japy-Hermes - McCurdy & Rhodes 65 From Monte Clark, Stevensville,
Montana 12/1/11: I owned this boat from around 1999 to 2001. I found
her in Sausalito California. A Frenchman had purchased her at a government
auction I believe. She had been confiscated by the US government for running
drugs is how the story goes. I am not positive about this information. The
Frenchman had been living on her for some years in Sausalito. After he died,
the family put the boat up for sale. I saw it and purchased it. I had the
boat brought up the coast to Seattle Washington. I worked on it a bit there
and sailed it very little. I sold it to a Californian who I assume brought
it back to California. Not sure of its current location. I have attached two
digital files. If you or anyone else is interested I have more pictures of
her that I can scan and send. I am so glad you are helping to track down these
beautiful pieces of history. Back when boats were beautiful.

to her going through the Panama Canal, last I heard she was crushed in an
accident in a lock and written off be insurers, don’t know what happened
after that or even if that is totally correct information but that was the

on and there is a link to some photos of her taken in Marmaris last year.

From reader (13/7/10): 1981/82 I sailed Disq d'Or 3 badged

with both the boat, and Terry since eearly 2000’s but would love to
find out where they are now , indeed if Terry still owns her!"From Jonathan
Gill (8/1/13): I spotted a wreck of a yacht with the word MAIDEN written on
it at the Eden Island Marina in the Seychelles last week. The hull is painted
grey but you can see Royal Blue livery below. I’m no racing yacht expert
but the hull seems to be the right size and with two large wheels and twin
wrenches for lifting sails appears to have a racing heritage. Also has Welsh
Education Department sicker on hull suggesting it has UK origin and has been
used in some form of education. Sadly didn’t take a photo... 11/8/14: Tracy
Edwards is trying to raise money to restore the yacht. Now in a marina in
the Seychelles. http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/maiden-rescue

history here as Tracy Edwards was crew on this second yacht and Paul Stanbridge
