Gama / Connexion

A group known as "The Bristol Mob" (led by Bob Date and Peter Gardiner) have resurrected "Gama", an inclined-wing one-way proa

This was designed by Adrian Thompson for Peter Gardiner in 1983, as a contender for the speed record. A speed of 24.58 kt was recorded in 1983. In 1984, it was awarded a design prize

(I think that "Connexion" is the name of a sponsor. The group previously had a different boat called Connexion. Does anybody know ?)
