Looking for photos of a Luke 5 Tonner

[Airborne473]

Hi, I have just taken over the running (do you ever "own" a classic wood boat??) of a Luke 5 Tonner and will be doing some remedial work over the winter.
I would love to see what she looked like at sea under sail. This will guide me in planning colours, finishes etc for her. Does anyone have any photos of such a boat.
I do know that there a few of them still left, if any owners are reading this forum.
Thanks.

There's one here at West Mersea - 'Sweet Kate'. I don't have any pictures including her and am off on holiday for a week in the morning so cannot oblige with some static ones until after the 19th if that will do? I can pass on your contact details to the owner if you want to pm me but again that will be after I return.

There's an example being worked on in Hartlepool. Formally of Whitby, she's called Fluke. Mike

Thanks tillergirl. Would be obliged for any photos and contact with a fellow Luke 5 Tonner owner. Would very much like to chat to them anyway if they are agreeable.
Have a good holiday

Thanks for that Mickshep. I would be most interested in what they are doing to her and any problems that they encounter on a boat thats almost 60 yrs old. Mine, "Sea Serenade" is amost as old as myself.
