The life of N2647 Sweet William. Design: China Doll, designed by: Phil Morrison in 1967
Original boat name: Steelmaster.
N.2647 is currently underneath the boat shed at Trent Valley. She is in seaworthy condition with full gear. She is owned by John Ryall, a former Trent Valley member who emigrated to the USA about twenty years ago. John took an extended holiday in the UK about three years ago, and did enough 'bimbling' on the boat to get her in sailing condition. The boat shed is about to be demolished and replaced by a new shed. Where N.2647 will be moved is not known.
