She was sold in 1996 to a German man who registered her in Stuttgart, Germany although she roamed the Caribbean. She seemed to have spent much time in Grenada.

Anne Marie arrived in Uk from Granada in 2005 after being damaged in Hurricane Ivan in September 2004. She has been at Moon Marine in Rye, Sussex since then without being sailed at all.

All being well and a fair breeze Anne Marie will take her first sail for a couple of hours TOMORROW!
