Curiosities about the boat.
GBR 472 ISIS . Jose Antonio Rodriguez (former National Secretary of the Class in Spain and Madrid Vela RC Club member ) bought the boat that won the world CHAMPIONSHIP, to Mr. Trevor , after the European Arcos 2004 finished. 
This boat, although with other rigs, won the National Championship in Spain in 2005 skippered by Juan Marcos. Since then we have not seen it in official competition. The current owner did not want to give away the specimen, in spite of many offers received.
