The 96-year-old Solent Sunbeam class welcomed a brand new yacht to its fleet with the launching of V70 Minty which took place at Itchenor, the base for this historic and much-admired classic keel-boat fleet. Minty's hull was built on the Isle of Wight by Mark Downer's AM Structures, a GRP and composites specialist who has built eleven of the new GRP yachts. Minty was fitted out by wooden boat specialists Haines Boatyard based at Itchenor.
