History
SEAWOLF was completed by her original owner Peter Milne from a hot moulded agba plywood hull supplied by Fairey Marine Ltd. She won the Sunday Times Gold Cup in 1963 and was short listed for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. SEAWOLF was subsequently owned and sailed by Brian Saffery-Cooper, the British single-handed dinghy helmsman of 1964, and by Martin Hunter and John Turner, both past chairmen of the British Finn Association. She was presented jointly to NMM by these three gentlemen. October 2007
