This boat turned up at the IBTC in Oulton Broad today.  Apparently the owner, who lives nearby in Beccles, felt it unlikely that he would be able to sail her again or fix her up so he has donated her to the college.
Hull looks sound. Galvanised steel plate and gold anodised Proctor mast and boom. Decks a bit flaky but sound.  I'll try and take some photos tomorrow and post on the database.
