Anyone see the cover of the most recent Musto catalog ? Sorry, couldn't find a pic on the website to post..

Pic is from Skandia / Cowes week. '

Looks like a mumm 30, flared topsides, twings come out of the hull just below the deck etc.

However the cabin top is a much smaller "blister" than the mumm. Also, the boat appears to have runners. The molded in toe-rail is smaller and in a different location.

Some little IRC boat ?

Any ideas ?

Pretty sure its Quokka (The office) and Shakermaker 2 (is now Sanguma) not sure what happened to shakermaker 1 could be wrong though

Its definately not an IRC boat. And I cant see why anyone would want one as the mumm an established class hence the reason why I think the baby 11.3 called the 9.8 never got past making the mould. www.u2canrace1.com

Pass take a look at the cowes week website 2003 IRC results (Class 3 I would guess).

The Office is owned and raced by Musto, half of the office guys (geddit?) sail it together, including Nigel.

Not seen as much this year raced by them as they had use of the old Farr 52 Hollywood Boulevard, intruigingly called Red Bear and run by the Bear of Britain lot. No money changed hands, took charter in exchange for all Bear's very smart new kit.

Nice little boats, the Kerrs. Stormed the scene when new out, still just holding their own now. Jason Kerr does some good quality small racers, look at his customs of this year "Flying Glove" and "Fair Do's VI", they did really well at the Commodore's Cup.

The Office is the old Shakermaker 2, a ker 9m, Shakermaker 1 is now sanguma and is a ker 31.

A pic of Sanguma. Raced out of Cowes and a great little boat.

This sounds right so were's Quokka gone and whats its called maybe its gone to Ireland?

Quokka is a Mark Mills design 36 or 35 footer. She's for sale on Yachtworld/Boats.com. I suppose there's every chance she might end up in Ireland. Highland Spirit, Mustang Sally and a few more have ended up over here.

Anyone know whatever happened to Independent Bear? I see Minx, the old Nokia/Carphone Warehouse is for sale too. Is she passed it now?

Now "Independent Bear Mark II" after modifications by Corby to restore competitiveness after RORC slammed that particular loophole shut. Now used for pay-to-play racing.

That was the previous Quokka, Peter Rutter built a Mills 36, built by 2HO in umm 1998, for Comm Cup etc. Now called Cutting Edge.

The next Quokka was sistership to "Shakermaker 2" Ker 9m IRM boats - very cool little boats, although Shakermaker was destroyed under IRM in one regatta by Unsung Hero - the ILC 30. Basically shakermaker should have been streets ahead, and they boat for boated all round the course.... The ILC 30 boys sailed out of their skins.....

I dunno where the Ker 9m Quokka is now.....

Looks like the Quokka boys sold there soles lovely ker & mills raceboat to an Elan. The Yes boys have done the same from Mills 50 & Sydney 60 to bendy toy whats going on. Peter Bemish of Aztec fame now brought a HOD 35 "Aztec 2" Only team shockwave have gone the right way from bendy toy to there new DK which looks cool.

The ker 9m was the quokka I was thinking of maybe its rusting away in the back of HYS.

Anyway 56K for Quokka is it worth it? quick boat particully upwind (Think it had structural problems after cascais race though) much better buy is Roaring Meg Jason nices boat http://www.vmgracing...p?m=da&id=14084
