Polperro gaffer “Nellie” FY199

[John Hicks]

My Hicks family owned and operated this boat from Polperro during the early part of the last century. Built around 1903 by Peter Ferris of Looe. When I last saw her she was owned by Mark Lloyd, a photographer, and was at the boatbuilder‘s Chris Reece of Millbrook. She was advertised for sale in Classic Boat May 2010.
if anyone has knowledge of her current whereabouts or has photographs/information about her I would be most grateful to hear from you.

Not much help to your enquiry, but I vaguely remember a gaff rigged fishing boat called "Nellie" moored at Rotherhithe on the Thames in the 1980's. I wonder if it was the same boat?

Is it this one

It’s obviously the boat. If you are not an OGA member pm me your email and I’ll get them to send it to the present owner.

Well, it’s a start. I’ll make a note of this in case it turns out to be relevant. Thanks for trying.
