Owner: Chris Brown

No.23 InternalChris Brown of Ashlett Creek placed an order for a new AOD at the start of 2009 with Peter Williams at Bodinnick, Fowey.   23 port sideNo.23 – Gannet completed build late summer 2009.  On 2nd January 2010, almost a year after placing his initial order Chris launched Gannet at Ashlett Creek,  a light northerly  provided just sufficient  breeze for the initial sea trial.  She is destined for an official launch and naming at the Axe in the early summer – hopefully all seven will sail together, the largest gathering afloat since 1968.
