Broker's Comments
In 1963 Kim Holman designed and had built the first Twister commissioned for himself and his brother Jack to race. That season she cleaned up and subsequently over 200 have been built since, originally all timber and more recently in GRP.
This Twister is one of the last of the GRP Twisters hulls built in 1989 and commissioned in 1991. She has been well maintained by her owners over the years having undergone various refits and updates. Dry sailed for the past few years she is all ready to go.
