The yacht was later renamed Night Raider and was painted black. As with her sisters, the centreboard was removed and a keel fitted.

She was recently beached in a storm and considered an insurance write off, with lots of damage to the hull and holes in the deck. However, her new owner is currently undertaking a complete rebuild in her current home of Melbourne and hopes to have her back in the water in late 2013. Modifications include installing a new Yanmar 13hp engine under the companionway stairs, and new swept spreader rig and an open transom, and strengthening of the deck which had become soft over time.

With only three of these original boats in existence, the rebuild of 2269 is great news and coincides with Peter Morton's rebuild of Swuzzlebubble in England.
