This vessel’s history includes it’s 1982 construction for Mr. Rich Worstell (later the owner of the Valiant Yachts) in Kent, Washington and is identified as hull #250 – thus laminated and constructed after the infamous use of blistering fire retardant resins. (The present owner reports never encountering a blister on this vessel.)
The then new vessel was transported to Texas for use on Lake Texoma and later sold into Houston, Texas. As a US documented vessel the GUNDAGAI II, cruised the Gulf of Mexico extensively.
The present owners purchased the vessel in 1999, transported her to Seattle and cruised the waters of Puget Sound. In 2008 she was refit with new standing rigging, sails, and electronics prior to a 2-year adventure on Mexico’s Pacific Ocean coast. 2010 saw the returning SAOIRSE sailed north to San Francisco. 2012 SAOIRSE returned to Seattle via road transport for use on Puget Sound since.
