We have owned Heart of Gold, sail number GBR3267, since 2007. She is berthed at Datchet Water Sailing Club where we race her, generally double handed, in the slow asymmetric fleet, (the SB20 Portsmouth number is 911, only just above the 904 split between the fast and slow fleets) dwarfing the RS400s and RS200s.
Natalie raced her in the class European championship in Weymouth in June 2007, crewed by Jonathan Clark and Ben Rogers.
Tom raced her in the class World championship in Torbay in May 2011, crewed by Ben Rogers and Graham Iles.
We raced in Cowes Week 2006 with old Sigma 33 and Prima 38 crew Sarah Fawcus and her fiancée and newly minted Lord Sugar business partner Tom Pellereau in breezy conditions, captured by Hamo Thornycroft…..
….. and then later in the week, in more subdued conditions, with James Abrahams as crew
Heart of Gold sat for a few years unsailed in the DWSC boat park before coming back into commission for the SB20 Worlds in Cowes in late August 2017 and is now generally sailed double handed by Natalie and Tom when they want to play with a big asymmetric spinnaker without driving down to the coast.
Heart of Gold is now for sale.
