Hello Godfrey,
TS240 register
My T S 240 is number 028 both hull and sail. Year 1981/2? I have owned her since 3/3/01...I think I'm the 3rd owner
The name is Fortuna but I changed the name from 'MAGLWR' [welsh for one who sets snares, ie a trapper.]
She seems to be in original order, except for a small section of keel housing having been cut out to open up to repair the box on the top of the keel, new mast / rigging 1996 and a new rudder blade - the old one snapped at the waterline in F6, which was character building!

The old hollow grp rudder blade is a seriously bad design and build..I recommend you aggresively test the blade strength e.g. by putting it on blocks at the ends and standing in the middle.

Forestay had a luff groove, altered to roller reefing.

She is raced in the Poole YC tuesday series and one day I'll beat a Sonata - I wish!

Ps I want to sell the trailer, in good condition.
