Hi Boat T4, Sorry have nothing to offer in terms of info, but hopefully you have come to the right place, from your strap line, did your vessel come from e-bay?!, best of luck with her,

She was bought from ebay 2 or 3 years ago. with no super structure and rotten decks. I used old army bedford lorry tarps to put over a canvas roof, and have been trying to repaint her hull, lots of filler and sanding and corking. cost me £52. Situated Kennet & Avon Canal Wiltshire. cheers ant |

was owned by the owner of Mr Toots which is now up for sale on this site, he salvaged her and took out the engine.

As an afterthought I have a feeling she might be a former Dartmouth Naval College training boat.
