I am researching family history and trying to identify the design of the yacht in the photo. My father purchased the yacht in Paignton in 1939, (for £25)
The photo was taken in the Summer of 1939 (guess where), and she was laid up in Mashfords yard, Cremyll, later that year for the duration of the War while my father was away. In 1946 she was launched, with a new set of sails as the originals had been disposed of by the Luftwaffe. My father always referred to the yacht as a "Z 4 tonner" of Harrison Butler design, but it does not look anything like the images I can find on line.
Any help appreciated.
