Gulvain

She proved to be a very successful boat, winning her maiden race from Cowes to Dinard and back. She was forced to retire from the 1949 Fastnet Race, but performed well in the Newport Bermuda Race in 1950, and was first home in the first postwar transatlantic race from Bermuda to Plymouth immediately afterwards. She was skipped for both races by Humphrey Barton, and amongst the crew was Tim Heywood. She was bought by John Tassos in 1965, and by Robert Schyberg in 1988. She was renovated in 1991 and took part in her second Fastnet Race in 1991.
