Also there's one for sale.

£1400 starting bid for that Wildfire on Ebay - don't think they stand much chance of getting that.

A Wildfire was one of the first boats I sailed at Lossiemouth in Scotland all those years ago.

There is a Wildfire sailing regularly at Bough Beech but it has an old ISO mainsail. It is winning the Icicle series at present:

Isnt the lead shot in the ebay Wildfire worth quite a bit as scrap?

Expensive (very) from $25000, narrow, 4 ft 3ins, trapeze, asymmetric kite for that apparent wind sailing, and with a Rotating semi-unstayed tapered carbon wingmast !

What's a Rotating semi-unstayed tapered carbon wingmast when it's at home!

RAF brat indeed........

No my father was the headmaster of the local school so I lived there all of my secondary school and university years. Was born in Scotland and lived there until I moved to the deep south.

The Wildfire belonged to a friend of mine who bought it from the local Outward Bound centre at Burghead. Now I must have been sailing that boat in the late seventies so about 30+ years ago.
