Additional Information
Built in 1950 in Vosper Thorneycroft's Singapore Yard. It apparently saw service towing Seaplanes.
How it found its way into the UK we don't know. We know that is won an award at the Bristol Harbour Sea Festival in 1996 having spent many years in the Cardiff area now generally known as Cardiff Bay.
It was lifted ashore at Penarth Marina around 2001/2 and to all intents and purposes abandoned.
Wigmore Wright Marine Services bought it around 2004/5 and extensively restored it when their other work allowed, hence the 6/7 years.
As she, once more afloat, looks and handles today, a wait well worth all the time and effort.
