This boat was supplied as a bare hull by Landamores of Wroxham to my father, who finished it in about 1960. He used it for several year and subsequently moved overseas. The boat came to me and I used it on the North coast of Norfolk and on Barton Broad until it was badly damaged by a barn roof collapsing on it while it was in winter store. The hull was sold but no records remain of who bought it. Sad story but the boat was much loved and fondly remembered as being blisteringly quick on a broad reach.
