History
POOK was built by R and A Hamper for the Father of the present owner in the year he was married. She has had a fairly uneventful life, although she was once sailed single handed from Weymouth to the Isle of Wight (with the present owner's Aunt helming). She has been laid up for most of the time between the 1970's and today. She has just been extensively refurbished. October 2009
