looking for any information on a ketch built getlemans yacht built about 1937 name of MANISHI

 

[Bajansailor]

I have a 1975 edition of Lloyd's Register of Yachts, and Manishi is mentioned in it - here are the details :
She was built by E F Elkins in Christchurch in 1936 and is described as a 'TwnScCut' - I presume this means 'twin screw cutter'.
In 1975 she was owned by an L Mainwaring; she was registered in Poole, but her home port was noted as Walton on Naze.
Net tonnage 8.96, gross tonnage 13.05, Thames tonnage 13.
LOA 39.6',
LWL 36.8',
Beam 9.6',
Draft 4.0'
Sail area 270 sq ft.
In 1975 she had 2 x BMC 4 cylinder 55 hp diesel engines that were built in 1966.

In my 1972 Lloyds, the details are as above except the owner is listed as:
AT Godfrey

Welton
Daventry

Lockdown madness enters the field of MABs; I hope the new owner has either stockholm tar in his veins or a healthy cheque signing hand.
