Nightfall

This beautifully maintained gaffer is in the berth next to mine.
Is she the same boat once owned by Maurice Griffiths and included in 'Little Ships and ....." ?

I don't know the yacht, but the tender is a Fairy Marine cold molded 'Duckling'. A rather rare sight these days

Looks the same as the Nightfall in "Ten Small Yachts" by MG.

Does look very alike. Up at Maldon?

The dinghy doesn't match the boat - very much in need of some TLC, but still better than my plastic tub.
This (The?) Nightfall is in Maldon, but as I haven't been able to get there since June, I don't know how long she's been there.
Where's the 'envy' smiley when you need it?

She's listed in British Classic Yacht Club.

point of info, Fairey boats were hot moulded....

Same old boat then?

"new hull, new deck and interior all faithfull to her original plans"
A twelve year restoration, no wonder she looks so good.
