Looking for jacamanda

[Nattajack]

Does anyone know the whereabouts of Jacamanda - a 42ft wooden TSDY built in 1962?

She was registered at Cardiff and based on the River Avon at Beecham Marine boatyard Tewkesbury in the 1960's and then moved to the River Dart. She was sold to a new owner in Cornwall.

I was one of the joint family owners of Jacamanda and I was told she may now be in the Brighton area and was involved in a sea rescue when she was sinking.

Is she still around?

Hmmm ... the name does ring a bell. Have you tried a call to Brighton Marina?

Rings a bell with me, too. Was she ever kept in Exmouth docks? About 20 years ago? There was a boat of a similar description that I always admired and I was told that she went East, not sure where, and sank/almost sank.
She was a real beauty.

Name sounds familiar but I can't place her or even what type of mobo she was.

Here are a couple of pictures of Jacamanda taken in Tewkesbury at her launching in 1962

There is a Jacamanda up the Hamble, but nothing like the pictures or age suggested above.

I've just bought Jacamanda so she is alive and well in Brighton Marina but does need a lot of TLC
