REMARKS:                                “Gilly of London” was purchased by her current owners in May 2007 from Premier Marina’s in Swanwick.  Her owners went to Slovenia to see the boat being built and then spent one year in Gosport after her delivery.  In 2008 they sailed to Port Medoc on the Gironde for 4 months and then to Villamoura where they stayed for one year.  In May 2009 the boat was fitted out for the ARC, the mast was unstepped for inspection, a water maker was fitted, SSB radio and pactor modem, extra 50amp battery charger and solar panel.  In October 2009 she was sailed to Gran Canaria via Madeira and she then took part in the ARC in November that year, sailing to St Lucia and being placed 37^th overall.  In 2010 she complete the ARC Europe and had 1^st place from the British Virgin Islands to Bermuda and 1^st place Bermuda to the Azores.  In 2011 she was moved to Gibraltar for one year and then in 2012 moved to Altea where the boat is currently located.  New skin fittings, lever valves, hose tails were fitted in DZR or Bronze, her holding tank had new pipe work and an electric toilet fitted.  Main hatches changed for Lewmar with Oceanair blinds.  A new bowthruster was fitted in 2012 and new Stackpak system for the mainsail in 2012.  New batteries were fitted in 2013.
