Dear All, I have received an e-mail about the whereabouts of this boat:
Hello, Do you have any idea where Silver Dream Racer might be? I would like to buy her back one day. I sold her in 1981 but cannot remember to whom. She is a heavily modified Extrovert designed by Julian Everitt and built in aluminium. Regards Chris Everitt

Hello,
I remember this mini tonner boat very well!
It was affectionately known locally as the chip scoop (being made out of aluminium)...but was certainly a very fast boat. The big boats (which it thrashed regularly) kept out of its way on the star line as it had a razor sharp aluminium bow.
My father, Roy Manifold shared this boat in the early 1980's with a guy called Alan Davenport from Manchester. It was sailed at Blackpool and Fleetwood yacht club for a while. I believe Alan did it up nicely with a new paint job before it got sold on.
I had heard that it had lost its keel and sunk. I dont know if thats true or not because it would be a pity.

Are there any other Extroverts out there? Apparently about 20 were built. I might be looking at one soon and was wondering if any owners / sailors could share their experiences.

May be an idea to contact the designer. I know someone who had one of his designs and he was helpful.

Hi, don't know if this thread is dead yet, but I do know something of this boats history. I was aware of her and several other Everit designs ; and saw her sailing near Fleetwood in the eighties.
Some years ago i was cycle touring on Harris and Lewis ; whilst at the bunkhouse at Leverburgh, I noticed the owner had a small boat under cover, so asked about her. He was kind enough to show me around : and she turned out to be Silver Dream Racer !!

It's a small world! I've bought one of the production boats and I think there are 2 or 3 at Royal Northumberland YC (the builder, Linklatter, was based in this area I believe) Hopefully Silver Dream Racer and a number of the other versions are still going strong.

there were about 6 of the 'stretched' 26' extroverts and over 20 of the 22' built in the early 80's.I still sail my 22 fairly regularly, its been in the water every year since built in 1981 and tho' bit dated now is still an excellent sea boat ideally suited to N sea conditions. Lifting keel ideal for east coast.

Hi everybody. Delighted to hear that Silver Dream Racer is still with us. Be great to hear anything new about her and any other Extroverts. I am particularly interested to find out where our Quarter Ton Extrovert is as she would make an excellent boat for the thriving Quarter Ton class. I think she was called Weekend Warrior when she was built around 1983. Regards Julian Everitt

Hello from the far north. The quarter ton Extrovert Weekend Warrior is in the Shetland Islands and is now named "Kalyma" I bought her from Dick Boyle about ten years ago to club race up here in Shetland where on the few occasions we get light airs we have brought home the silver. Cheers, Charlie Tait,
