Built as a gentleman’s yacht at Gosport in 1920 and raced at Cowes, she was later sold and spent a large part of her life at Burnham-on-Crouch including being laid up there during the war.
Sold again to a Professor of Combustion at Imperial College in the late 1960’s, she moved to the Heybridge Basin in Essex which is where I first saw her as a teenager and was lucky enough to buy her in 2005.
She spent 5 years or so at Gweek being refitted until we relaunched her and moved her to her new mooring place on the Helford.
We have cruised her extensively getting as far as Greece in 2018 and returning home in 2019 – sailing as far as the South of France then transporting her overland by low loader and the Roscoff to Plymouth ferry complete with three illegal immigrants!
