Jiminy Cricket (formerly Valerian) has been moved from the East Coast to the West Coast of Wales, and is sailed from Neyand Yacht club in Pembrokeshire. There are 3 other Impala’s to compete against every week, so we have some great class racing. The other Impala’s are Inca, Apollo and Trissie.
The boat is now co owned by John Williams and Trevor Skippins.

    Is she still going? Lovely to see a photo of her, albeit 12 years ago.
    Valerian was my Dad, Robin’s boat originally. She was his pride and joy- named after my Grandpa’s Brixham trawler. We all have many happy memories of her!
