My uncle had her built and I went to the shipyard when I was a mere lad. Have cruised on her many a time. Very distinctive mast and side exhaust. christopherroberts1958@btinternet.com<br />01986 781387Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14453939512595555424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710611656756005747.post-7374662176446919422021-05-03T13:59:29.089+01:002021-05-03T13:59:29.089+01:00Stu

My uncle had her built and I can give you some history. I have seen her at Southwold and taken pictures for the family.

I know it attended the 1964 IWA show as I have a brass plack that says so. I think I am it's 5th owner but almost everything else I know is hearsay. If anyone knows anywhere I could look for research that would be great!<br />Thanks again.<br />StuAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829918449853639638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710611656756005747.post-77666045676532384602020-02-01T14:41:34.112+00:002020-02-01T14:41:34.112+00:00No - sorry - wish I could. family always refused t...No - sorry - wish I could. family always refused to speak to me! someone else with closer links might see this though - hope soMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13988393651468490255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710611656756005747.post-64891330871981359992020-01-31T09:16:17.436+00:002020-01-31T09:16:17.436+00:00I own an early '60s Piper.
