I am so pleased to see that Credence is now owned by Jessica Watson.
I have very fond memories of the construction, launching and offshore racing the lovely S&S 34 out of Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club. Wishing you fair winds and smooth seas Jessica.

Rick Scott-Murphy
Comment. I was the owner of Mendana after Andy Burnip and sold it to the production company for the film True Spirit. I purchased it from Andy in March 2018 at RMYS and sold it in May 2021 in Airlie Beach
