Screw Loose is a Holland 30, the smallest yacht to win the Sydney to Hobart on handicap (1979). I bought her in PNG IN 2002, sailed her back the next year and sold her via agent to F Lawrence from the Shute Harbour Area.

Doing a bit of a clean out and came across docs describing the boat's history and 1995 S2H book describing her win. If anyone can point me in the direction of the current owner, I'd be happy to supply them with these documents.

The owner has a boat at Kettering Marina. It is a 50ft timber launch. The marina staff would know his name and the boat. They are friendly and could give you his name too.

cheers

Sorry, I read it wrong, the original owner is in Kettering - the guy who won the Hobart. Not the current owner - shouldn't look up this page on my phone.

Yeah, Bob Cummings was actually the second owner. It was initially called MASH, Rob Mundle, John Anderson, Doug Sharpin, and Ron Holland were the initial owners. We'll see if the brains trust can locate her:)
