General Information
|
As far as is known Gibbon (a carvel style GRP boat) was built
in 1979 and according to advertising literature, would have cost
in the region of £10,000. Like all the other VARNE
built boats GIBBON is different to most
Folkboat in so much as she has a very short stern deck the extra
space so generated being utilised in a bigger (longer saloon).
At the 2000 rally at Carlingford GIBBON secured the trophy
for being the best performing GRP boat throughout the week (three
3rd's and one 2nd) |
