"What a superb yacht. My friend Han lammers owned her for a brief spell in the eighties. Unfortunately, he was chartering her and switched the running backstays on the mainmast to a backstay on boomkin set-up which failed in heavy seas off of Barbuda and toppled the whole rig. He tried to find the spars in a private plane to no avail, and was never able to get the sticks up on Vagrant again. Sold her to Peter de Savary of English America's Cup campaign fame. PDS undertook a monumental full refit - right down to the frames - in Antigua, then had Harry Spencer re-rig her as a gaff schooner as she was designed. I never saw her fully restored and would love any info as to her recent past and location". - Bill Price
