Dear S+S 34 association,
We circumnavigated in “Star Rider” Mallorca to Mallorca from 1991 to 1994. I sold the boat to a Spanish fireman. He keep it in Vinaros, Spain.
Thanks very much David, I have updated our records. If you have enough information about Star Rider or any info re her current owner for me to make up a web page for her I am happy to do this.
regards, Simon
