The image shown on the database of Giselle was probably taken before WWII. In its later years, or last years, the Trent Valley boat was owned by "Dicky" Trease and was seen by me at the club in 1961 or 1962. It was probably broken up after this.
Dicky was a well loved and popular member of Trent Valley. In recent times when the National 12 class re-awarded the Admiral'a Cup for almost any boat which was not double-bottomed, Trent Valley created a new trophy for Admirals Cup boats at its major annual Open Meeting. The new trophy was named the Trease Trophy in memory of Dickie.
