Hunting for AIRFORCE

[khil]

I am trying to hunt down the Art Paine designed Airforce. She was built for the 1986-87 BOC single handed around the world race. She was drawn by Art Paine and built by Greene Marine and Cross Marine. I think she was skippered by Dick Cross. Any ideas where she might have ended up would be much appreciated.

There was a project during the last Volvo to track down all the previous boats from the Whitbread and the Volvo?

The thread is about 85 or 90% down this first page of Ocean Racing Anarchy. I don't know how to cut it for you. The name of the thread is clear.

Don't think it was a Whitbread boat was it?

I believe Airforce struck a UFO shortly after the start and was lost. I do not recall who the skipper was. Check Wooden Boat Magazine archives for details.

There was an exploded picture of the construction of this boat plus the article in Wooden Boat
