With all that crafted ash and beaten alloy, anything but a Bonezzi would have been simply wrong. 

Bonezzis made everything else look wrong even if you had a Renault 18 like I did....
There were other wooden 'tenders, Smith IIRc?

Is this the one design racing version that was being touted the other week on Facebook?

Goes upwind like a train and sports a Fully-battened Mylar sail?

When you say '7' is that a Caterham 7?
Can't sleep in one of them neither.

The 7 is about 7.4 isn't it? And the 9 is 8.9? So only 1.5 between them anyway.
