She is still very sound, we race her regularly with some success under 'IRC' handicap system - No others to race one design here! We won class 6 in CORK week two years ago and are going again this year. Judicious is now 25 years old and still has her original mast she now has a new engine though! We purchased her in Ireland about none years ago.
