14/30 Chloe
14/30 Chloe
Built in 1969 by Paddy Hayes in Clontarf for Eric Allen. A quick boat, Chloe went on to win three National Championships in her first 3 years with Eric and B Hurding as crew. In 1977 with T Dempsey & S Deane she went on to win her 4th championship.
In 2020 she was bought by Trevor & Krissy Smith for restoration to get her back on the water after a long absence.
