This was the most beautiful boat I had ever seen when I was growing up in the seventies and the design encouraged me to do designs of my own, one of which scored me 98% in sixth form. Paul Whiting was a legend and I have previously owned and sailed one of his smaller designs. I saw Magic bus in the viaduct yesterday. Magnificent shape, far ahead of anything of it's time.
