My Great Uncle owned a Motor Yacht in Paris in the 1930. His name was Wilfred Dunderdale the Motor Yacht was called June or My June after his wife. I think she could have been built by Georges De Coinck at his shipyard at Maisons-Laffitte . i have found several references to him winning race in Paris in the early to mid 1930s. i do not know what happened at the outbreak of the war weather he left her in Paris Etc. Where do i look i just cant find any information on her at all.
he had somthing to do with the yacht Moteur Club de France
Any advice or help would be most grateful

Join face book's Grand Power Yachts of Yesteryear and ask there, Maunsel White may know.

Or ask Assoc of Yachting Historians, they have contacts in France.

The motor-yacht is called "June" and not "My June". I know not its fate. My father worked with "Biffy". People shown are my father, mother, and with her back to us possibly June? If you have stories about your great uncle these would be gratefully received. Many thanks Sebastian.allaby@wrapcd.co.uk
