Quite a lovely wee craft. I'd have liked to see pictures of the hull profile and of her under sail. I knew someone with a "Dunkirk Little Ship" that was very similar but not a motor sailer, it only had a mizzen mast and small sail for stabilisation under anchor.

Hi Topcat47,
I'll try to dig a photo out of her dried out. I kept her on a fore and aft mooring on legs!
Off the wind she was very fast, but on the wind....... that's where the 3 cyl 13hp Lister came in.
Engine seems to have been swapped.
She was on the Isle of Man for some years before I got her.
 
She's extremely similar to a boat that was in Inverness Marina for some length of time. If I recall correctly, she was named 'Resolis'?
I was told that she'd been bought by Warner Bros., as part of a film depicting the evacuation of British troops from Dunkirk.
