Millers of St Monans

[Romeo]

We have owned an 18' double ended gunter rigged sailing boat from Millers for a few decades. Despite living relatively close to this yard we have never seen a similar boat. She is larch on oak clinker construction with 3/4 decking and a raised gunwhale. She was built for my Grandfather in the 30s. Very obvious scottish sailing fishing boat lines, closer to a Skaffie than a Fifie. I love the Miller's motor sailers but I was wondering if anyone has come accross smaller sailing boats built by the yard?

In my search for a Fifer I recently came across a 7m open boat. If you go to Yachtworld.com and type in Miller as a search word just about the last on the list will be this boat, lying in Dartmouth. A bit larger than yours but perhaps similar.

Thank you forbsie. I have contacted John Cunningham through the website you suggested and he is referring me on to one of his cousins who was the company secretary.

Excellent, I wish you luck.

Why don't you put up a few pictures of your boat on MoBoChat Boatone's site on <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.boatsontheweb.com/bulletinboard>Boats on the Web</A> and if you get a few more owners you can set up a discussion group.
