History
Zenith was built to the B Class Rule, but adopted into the International Canoe class in 1935 and given the number K26.
Zenith was built for H.L. Paxton to a Sven Thorell design similar to Thorell’s ‘Sol’.
She was bought by Barry Bucknell in 1946 from Cowes, he sailed her at Hayling Island and sold her in 1951.
