I have just read the book 'Jolie Brise' by Robin Bryer hoping to learn all about the famous Oyster by that name. Unfortunately it is particularly lacking in reference to Sailorman's boat. Seems to concentrate on a Le Havre Pilot Cutter of that name built in 1913. Still a very good read, well written and covers some really interesting owners.
Funny coincidence though I was talking to a retired Admiral from Lisbon yesterday here in the Azores, and his father-in-law was one of the owners when the other Jolie Brise was located in Lisbon prior to the Coup.
