Getting this neglected yacht back in the water

In this episode we finally launch our classic sailing yacht.
Miss Rosie is a Great Dane 28, built in 1967 and built by Klauss Baess and designed by Aage Utzon.
The Great Dane 28 was inspired both by the Folkboat and the Sisu Spidsgatter. She looks rather similar to the Twister (in the UK), but both her hull and complete coachroof/deck mouldings have always been made of GRP.
Miss Rosie was generously given to us by Angie Martin after her husband Jeff passed away tragically.
Jeff dedicated his life to sailing and more specifically, the Laser class. His engagement with sailors and members worldwide undoubtedly enabled more countries to compete internationally. This subsequently enabled more nations to participate in the Olympic Games and established a legacy for these nations from elite sailing to the grassroots.
In 1981, Jeff became an International Judge and an International Race Officer and Measurer in November 1998. His involvement in World Sailing started in 1991 and he served as Vice Chairman of the Classes Committee from 1991 to 1994 and again from 1999 to 2000. In 2001 he became Chairman of the Classes Committee and a Council representative and held the post through to 2016.
His work worldwide through the Laser saw friendships form with sailors, race officials and global sports administrators. He has left a true legacy to sailing and to all those who were lucky enough to cross his path.
We can’t thank Angie enough for this amazing gift and are proud to have been able to get Miss Rosie back on the water and sailing once again..
We have kept the dialogue in this episode to a minimum.
This episode is dedicated to Jeff Martin and to Angie who has become a close family friend.
We are Andy, Melissa and Jack, a sailing family based in North Wales, looking for a bluewater sailing yacht to take us around the world.
We currently have a very small 24ft Snapdragon Sailing yacht based in Caernarfon but there are bigger boats on the horizon.
