Lyonesse of Fowey

[Will]

Anybody seen this lady recently? She's a 40' (50' oa) mounts bay lugger, rigged now as a gaff ketch, with a distinctive doghouse midships. As she's my favourite boat in the whole world I'd like to know if she's in one piece. She was in London a year or two ago, having moved from the westcountry, but i've no idea where she is now, although I did hear a rumour she might have been in Brighton? Cheers, Will

I understand that her last keeper was somewhat slack, and let his father sell her out from underneath him!

Re: you cheeky blighter

Yes, apparently the young un and the old un decided that it was necessary to buy a smaller boat so that when large friends came sailing it would be easier to park nearer the pub!
