Additional information:
The Golden Shamrock "Cavalier" is actually based in the Isle Of Man. Portsmouth Yardstick Handicap is 980, however Cavalier races competitively off 962. She was built in Crosshaven, Ireland. The boat belongs to my father and is still competitively raced. I now live in the British Virgin Islands so no longer race her, but I am going back to the UK in August to compete in Scotland's West Highland Yachting Week on her. I had a very enjoyable 12 years and 20000nm of racing/sailing on her. Thanks for starting a half ton association up, there are some great older half tonners around that deserve to be recognised still. Hopefully the creation of your organisation will help to preserve them on the race course and elsewhere.
