Marigold of 1892 racing off Antibes 2007

Like Ilex Marigold is a Charles Nicholson designed boat built by Camper and Nicholson in 1892.   After a long and varied career she was acquired by Greg Powlesland.   Greg had sailed with me on the Golden Hinde to California (see my introduction and the picture The Golden Hinde departing Acapulco for Pacific 1975).   

Greg had many frustrating years finding the money to restore Marigold.   He eventually sold the boat at auction to the present owner.   He employed Greg to painstakingly restore the boat over a number of years to her present impeccable and accurate condition.

Mariogold is for sale again looking for a sympathetic owner.
