Featured on a limited edition of postage stamp in the early 1980s, Rosemary was almost lost when she sank after a start-line collision during the 2007 Championships in Howth.

See our news report from September 2007  She was found days later in the seabed north of Howth harbour and after a two day operation was finally lifted ashore and repaired during the winter of 2008.
