History
HALF SOVEREIGN S2 is a 12ft 6in wooden SigneT sailing dinghy, sponsored by the Sunday Times, hence the name S igne T, designed by Ian Proctor. It was from HALF SOVEREIGN that plans were created for another 900 boats.
ST2 has been sailing since she was first built and in 1962 she was sailed across the English Channel for publicity purposes. NMMC 25/08/2012
