Boat

The Mumm 30 or Farr 30 which we will be using for the next two years was built by Carrol Marine in 1996. She has since raced extensively under a whole range of names. After Swordflounder, Warp Factor, and Seven, she has now been named “Mumma Duck” and she will continue to be seen at race venues throughout Europe until she hopefully excels at the 2010 Tour de France à la Voile.

The last owner has refurbished her nicely but never had a chance to sail or race her. The Mumma Duck is presently being upgraded for both inshore and offshore racing according to the wishes of her present crew.
