Boat Identification

[Petercatterall]

Can someone help identify and supply any history on the following boat which i have just purchased.
32x10.5 foot Motor Sailor circa 1973 described as a Colvic Atlanta and built by?? Maunders of Southampton to a Laurent Giles design. Ketch rigged long keel full wheelhouse 47hp perkins 4108 engine.
She is rated at 11 tons! but motors and sails remarkably well.
I want to restore her to her orginal condition and would like to identify owners of similar boats.
Any info will be appreciated. (She is called MY Sheralee and is currently in Ardrossan.

Her rating is not her displacement, but her registered carrying capacity. As I recall the Alanta weighed about 6tons and should do quite well fitted with that Perkins 4108, a good reliable engine. Easy to work on and plentiful supply of parts. Lancing Marine at Shoreham are able to supply most parts.

Colvic were suppliers of hulls for home fit out, or by small boatbuilders, should be owners group.
