I'm looking for some help in tracing a classic wooden yacht and wondered if anybody has any ideas where to start.
All I know about Corinna is that she was of wood construction, about 35 ft, sailed around the Blackwater and was skippered by my girlfriend's grandfather, Burton Hewes (who, incidentally, was also Captain on Sir Malcolm Campbell's motoryacht, Bluebird in the late 30s!).
Corinna was definitely around in the 50s, as I've seen old photos of her from a trip to the Baltic from that era - apart from that I'm at a loss and would dearly love to trace her given her historical link with my 'in-laws' !!
Any help gratefully received.
Regards,
Eric.
