East Sussex One Design

[eebann]

I am currently restoring an East Sussex One Design. I have been unable to find any information on this class of boat. Can anyone help. She was built in 1953 by the Shoreham Boat Company and designed by John E. Powell. She is 31ft long with a 7ft 10 inch beam and draws 6ft. Her name was Flamingo.

Classic Boat issue 87 Sept95 has a mention page53 " Flamingo of Menai" sussex one design. Also issue 99 Sept96 mentions her at Peel 96. I do not have issue 87 so no idea if it's an article or just a mention. Bartlett library at Falmouth Maritme museum have all the issues.
