It was great to hear from Mathieu in Naples, France, who is putting the final touches on what looks like a very comprehensive restoration of the Soverel 43, Locura, famous for her Class D win at the 1983 SORC, and which went on to compete for the US team in the 1983 Admiral's Cup. Details of her history over that period can be seen here. Locura is due to go back in the water in the next month or two (as of January 2019).
More recent photographs (2022/23) can be seen below.
