Comments: Sujanwiz was Alan Vines concept, developed from a Fairey Swordfish hull to form a lightweight, seaworthy, family cruising boat. 20' long she includes most of the oustanding and unusual ideas developed in the prototype Atalanta A1 - twin lifting keels, whipstaff tiller and so on. Alan and his family cruised and raced in The Solent and Channel to great success, often sleeping 6 aboard.
