We recently received the following information and document on N220 from Gillian Westell confirming that N220 was built in 1937 and was an Uffa King design.
Gillian says "Marante" was acquired in 1938 by my father John Westell (not Westall!), designer of the International 505. I thought that perhaps you would like to add this information to your database.

The following photographs were kindly received from Gillian Westell, and show her father John Westell aged 17 or 18, sailing Marante in the Exe Estuary circa 1938/39.
