Impostor is a successful example of the evergreen Corby 33.
Corby designs need no introduction, they have always been successful and with a rating of 1.031 ( the lowest of the Corby 33's) Impostor is ready to pick up silverware or convert to a capable fast coastal cruiser.
Hull built in Poland (one of 5) for John Causton, finished by Will Partington in North Wales. First sailed late 2007 as “Salamander 2”, the boat won Scottish Series.
Bought in early 2012 by Peter Morton and re-named “Salvo” when instruments and much deck gear were upgraded. Re-fairing of the keel fin carried out in August 2013.
Bought by Richard Fildes in 2014 when resprayed “Stars & Stripes Blue” and decks resprayed, carbon wrap on mast, black powder coated stanchions and pull/pushpit. Sails upgraded in turn over ownership.
Dry-sailed from Firmhelm, North Wales, no antifouling. Recent survey (available on request) has shown small areas of delamination which requires remedial works.
