History
STARFISH was built by Wyche and Coppock in 1962 to the design of M E Nokes, being the prototype for a run of about fifty boats. Although she did not have a very successful racing career, the design turned out to be a very good all-rounder and winner. She went out of use in the 1970's and was stored for about 30 years. She was then purchased by her present owner and returned to sailing. January 2009
