J71 – Mirabel

Bought as a completed boat from Fairey’s, and owned by the same family for nearly 60 yrs. They modernised the boat themselves – converted it to fully tanked (front tank & full length side tanks), and replaced the original spars.

J161

Written by Andrew in 2011:

Well this is my first ever blog.
This Fairey finished boat is being redecked with the help of my friend Ian, Jollyboat deck maestro and restorer (former owner) of the very beautiful J261 Jimini.

Decks off J161
This is why the decks needed replacing – extensive areas of delamination.
Bung through to cavity under deck
New bulkhead and new deckbeams.
Tanks had “fillet” of black glue which had cracked. All removed and replaced by epoxy.

Not registered for a sail number originally although may have sailed as J357 in the end. Scrapped eventually:

Sailed from Roa Island originally, and then Ullswater.
