'Renaissance' started her life as 'Scott Bader Commonwealth' as she was named after a company sponsor and was built by and for the Ocean Youth Club as a sail training vessel. In 1991 she was bought by the Faramir Trust who also used her as a sailing training vessel for under privileged children. She underwent an extensive refit at that time. The Faramir Trust and The Sailing Trust combined in 2002 and she was incorporated into the Cirdan Fleet. 'Renaissance' has been well maintained by the Trust who have given her a thorough annual refit/maintenance to keep her up to standard. Her current owners bought her in 2006 and stripped out all but the bulkheads and structural assemblies. Her hull was ground off from boot top down, re-laminated with 'Wests' epoxy system giving her 4 layups of woven rovings. She has a new bow thruster, new plumbing for radiators, heating, shower and hot and cold pressurised water. Re-wired throughout and old systems replaced. Alternator overhauled.
