Who remembers her? She lived on a swinging mooring on the Hamble waay back in the 70s. I remember her well she was a rather fetching Trawler Yacht I suspect one of the first Taiwanese imports. She later moved to the Shillingford Bridge where she was owned by the now deceased John Butterfield.
Well she's now gone to Valhalla in a fire at Deganwy Quay Marina. See http://www.ybw.com/news-from-yachti...t-deganwy-marina-north-wales-guts-yacht-13046
With usual editorial aplomb they say she was 14' long. I'd say she was 37'.
