General comments by vendor


Black Swan had a full repaint at Hillmorton in 2023 

We were one of the original 3 ex 'Ownerships' owners that started this syndicate. 

We have been owners for the entire life of the boat since before August 2005 when the boat was first launched. 

Black Swan has only had a maximum of 6 owners at one time. 

It now has only 5 owners because one of our syndicate has 2 shares.
