Re: Halcyon
Hello, I have just looked her up in my 1975 issue of Lloyds Register of Yachts - back then she was owned by the Southampton School of Navigation. She was built by John I. Thorneycroft & Co. Ltd. in Southampton in 1929 (as noted above).
Principal dimensions : LOA 80', LWL 57.7', Beam 17', Draught 10.3' (thats deep!), Sail area 2,275 sq. ft.
Tonnages - Gross 53.19, Net 47.16, Thames (TM) 78.

Thank you, Woodlouse - that looks very like the boat I saw. Confirmation tomorrow, perhaps.

Just checked the "Captain's log" on the website and she was, indeed, in Cardiff Bay around 27th January. Looks like one of her skippers is the grandson of an old friend - a nice bit of extra info.
I'm delighted to have tracked her down, with your help. Many thanks!
