A311979SailingOwner gives thanks to AOA for assistance in resurrecting Ambras. From the Owner "Saturdday 8 Sep 1979 was a glorious day for us. After 8 years ashore our 22 year old Atalanta was launched again. Sixteen months ago we bought the ship and from that moment were always busy re-fitting Ambras in the Club yard. Although we had a very short (1 month) season to test A31 on the R.Schedle now we know what we can do with the ship: she is a fine sailor, a pleasant boat and stable too."
