SEARCHING FOR THE RESTRICTED 21 FOOTER, EDALGO. Asking a wee favour from all our Facebook friends! As part of the research for a book on the Australian Restricted 21ft WLL Racing Yachts, the author's of the book would like to know if the Restricted 21 footer EDALGO is still in existence? EDALGO was last reported to be extent and moored in Pitwater Sydney Aus by the grandson of her builder John Savage in 2010. EDALGO won the 1951 Forster Cup for Victoria (The Australian Yacht Championship of the time) beating the then unbeatable TASSIE TOO of Tasmania. EDALGO is 25ft LOA 21ft WLL, and built of New Zealand Kauri. She would originally had an open cockpit similar to TASSIE TOO. I've added a few pictures of TASSIE TOO as and example of a Restricted 21 footer. While the author appreciate that this is like finding the proverbial, needle in a haystack let's hope the power of social media can help find her?
