During 2014 after decades of boating I wanted to buy something special to modernise for my own needs. after research I had a quest to find a Falcon 23, that was made and designed in Norfolk where I was born.... see original review below when it was manufactured in 1991.
I found an example in the Medway that was original and in need of attention. I bought this in 2014 with the intention of making it something special for me, so with no expense spared I brought it back to Bedford and started my dream. unfortunately my physique detreated to the point that the project reach about 95 % completion, but I am no longer able to finish and even If I could I am no longer confident to sail it!
