I hope this works because I don't understand the system. However I was responsible for the Sunrise Class. I had No 1 and named it Catkin. Malcolm Taylor designed and built the hull to my requirements. Having made the mould for Catkin he decided to make more boats. He was the first to commission the Sunrise and sailed it to USA. The first hulls suffered from slamming so a "wave breaker" was added. I added Catkin's wave breaker after she was launched. Catkin was supplied as a bare hull with the twin engines in place. The building was completed by myself and R F Upson's yard at Slaughden, (Aldeburgh) Suffolk. I would love to know where Catkin is now. I can be contacted at skelch@sumplace.abelgratis.com

Catkin is still with me Barrie although she may well be on the market this year as she isn't being used as much as she should be!

She is currently based at Conwy in North Wales.
