Gnu : Loving Lady Owner for 26 Years
Gnu was used as a live-aboard by a loving lady owner for over twenty-six years. She was sailed about the Solent until her owner could no longer look after her and reluctantly put the boat up For Sale. The photograph is from the end of that ownership. I've lost track of Gnu since then. She's similar to Buchanan's popular East Anglian design.
