Full Description

Susan J's first owners took her through the French canals and cruised the Mediterranean. She had a complete refit during 2001 - 2002 at Sandbanks Yacht Company, Poole, including a new bowsprit, rigging, teakwork and electrics.

With her second owners, the Shaws, she sailed to the Channel Islands, Normandy and Brittany coasts, west coast of England and the Scilly Islands from her base in the Solent. In 2003 she sailed around Britain and in 2013 took part in the OGA Jubilee celebrations in Cowes. She attended the 10th Anniversary Tour with the Dutch OGA in 2014.

Changing hands in 2017, her new owners took her on the OGA Sou' by Sou'West Cruise when she reached the Scilly Islands.
