Not sure about coring 1979 but David Burgess built one of the best fiberglass monohulls.
Not sure if this is a Burgess or not, but won Rouen 24 Hours 1979.
(Rouen was way rougher than Bristol)

All of those models still running in the UK
Bristol seemed to be the last developed design.

Check the strakes, designed more for hanging on in a turn that lift

165 Renato Molinari Tecnocar Filtri F1 V8 - OZ class in Brodenbach, Germany 1981.
