History
Owner’s notes: “Gremlin bought by my Grandfather in 1947 and delivered to Laleham SC with F122. She was passed on to my father who sailed her at the Medway Y C until 1957 when she came to me. She won the Public Schools Firefly Championships (hosted by Itchenor SC, representing Greshams School) in 1966. Converted to Mark ll in 1969.
Has not been sailed much since 1977. ( Refer to F3456, F3128 and F3131)”
