From Andrew Alcantara:

Waterwitch built in 1934 and the oldest Victory in our fleet joined the RGYC in 1983 (so I am told). Her claim to fame is that she won the first ever Victory race in Portsmouth. She was designated as Z12 and is one of the few to have always kept the original name. The Duke Of Wellington Regiment were the first owners followed by Christian & Patrick Sheppard-Capurro then the late Peter Rodney and for a short time Edgar Lavarello Jnr and for the last few years Andrew Tucker. She is now undergoing extensive works and she should be sailing again next year. Unfortunately i do not have any pictures other than recent ones.
