Here's Supplejack being launched, 1977, with help from crew friends Gavin Dagley, Ian Jenkins, Noel Fuller and obliging Little Shoal Bay locals. SJ got wrecked in a storm some years later but one broken hull became the main hull of Flash Harry and the other undamaged became Misguided Angel, both foiler trimarans.

For your help in clearing up what happened to suplple jack, as I had a vague idea it may had been wrecked.
