Albert Strange in Brighton Marina? Local spy needed.

[Constance]

Is this boat still there?

LOA 40ft. A 1930s stretch of a 1916 29ft design (Strange's last).

Photographed a few years ago. She was called CHARM II originally, but the Marina office don't know any boat today by that name. But maybe she is called something else.

Mmm. Luvverly but I know nothing. Other than muttering "get rid of the sprayhood" under my breath.

i agree sprayhoods are for whimps and if your a short arse like me (5'3) you cant see where you'r going

Ditto on the height myself /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif . I used to make hoods in a previous life, and though they are great if properly designed and set up right, they always look out of place on anything built before 1930. The 'strange' yawl in the picture proves my point. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
