Lovely Little Fife Yawl spotted on my Hols.

I wonder if she is a sister ship to my boat Nyachilwa. There were 6 of this design built. First in 1951 was Nyatonga, then Nyachilwa and Nyagra. I think the first 2 were genuine Fife designs though built after his death by Archie McMillan at Fairlie. The design then wandered away a little from the drawing and some were rigged as yawls. There was an article in Classic Boat magazine a few years ago, about the sixth, called Ellad

I did think of your boat at the time as I remembered lusting after her when you put photos up. Sorry!
However the plate was definitely 1920 something either 1 or 7 so she's a bit older but similar hull shape with what appeared to be a canoe stern.
