Thank you. How I wish we had never sold her - but the man who owns her now deserves all the joy after four years of graft restoring her. She is as good, or better, than the day she was launched in 1897.
 
These were anchored next to us on Thursday in St jean Cap Ferrat

Wow, really nice schooner.. Any further history? Too much sail to be a grand banks, along with the nice counter?
Sadly no.Nobody seems to know anything about the boat.My eldest uncle told me many years ago that there was a circular staircase leading belowdecks and that there were cupboards with glass doors and china on the shelves.Must have been quite something.

Might the guys at the Lisbon Maritime Musem have something on her? Difficult to guage the scale, but from the visible crew, she must have been +/- 100ft. Or was she not based in Portugal?
 
Tolly, 1924, Moen and Sons, Risor, Norway. (my boat's builders) original hot-bulb motor, now a yacht.

What's the green pipe on the port quarter? I reckon the exhaust pipe, any suggestions?
