The yacht has been owned by Sir Maurice Laing of the famous building company.
"I had a daysail on 'Vashti' out of Mylor in Cornwall back in 1975. Thats where she was berthed then. The present owner, Dr Paul M Wright, has had her for the last 21 years(2010)and sailed her over 50,000 miles. "I have made a new Douglas Fir mast three years ago to the original design. I have just re-engined to a 3 cyl. BETA, and put hot/cold running water in galley, heads and cockpit. 'Vashti' will be going to the DCYR('Vashti' is a full VKSJ member), the SYH and BCYC Regattas in 2007. She is not allowed in the OGA. She is moored in the Deben at Waldringfield."
"I am re-decking VASHTI in Burma Teak this year (2010), using traditional methods". (Dr Paul Wright) |
