'Kittiwake' has had two owners from new, with her current owner purchasing her in 2009. Since this time she has cruised the East coast, coming ashore for regular maintenance including new anodes and antifoul earlier in Spring 2018. The original construction was to a very high specification and they were one of the most expensive (£ per ft) and exclusive production boats of their time.
