Overview
Launched in May 2000, this Andrew Stewart design built by R King / J W Marine has a proven offshore cruising and racing pedigree. "Ding Dong" has been optimized for short-handed offshore cruiser-racing and has won many pots along the way.
This is a great opportunity to purchase a well equipped "ready to go" club or short-handed offshore racer for not a lot of money! Lots of fun for the buck from this powerful, but high stability design, with a competitive 2016 IRC rating of 1.073.

Owners Comments
I have enjoyed sailing "Ding Dong" immensely with or without a crew. She has looked after me well over the years and won some pots to boot! She is ready to go with all the sailing systems working.
1st in Class 1 in 2010 Two-handed Round Britain & Ireland Race
2nd in Class 4 on return leg of 2011 AZAB Race (Azores & Back)
Numerous podium finishes with SORC (Solo Offshore Racing Club), JOG (Junior Offshore Group) and RSYC (Royal Southampton) Inshore & Offshore series.
