Jess : Her New Owner Gets In Touch
Alistair Fyfe has been in touch to announce that he is the new owner of Jess, a rather elusive boat that's not Lloyd's listed and which I didn't know existed until a rumour circulated in 2017. Alistair informs me that “Jess is lying in Alecante, Spain, where she's been for the last 24 years”. He believes she was previously stationed in Woodbridge. In the photograph that he has sent in (above) she is flying the flag of the Netherlands, but Alistair proudly tells me she now wears the Polish flag.
