If it is of any interest, I think this boat was called "Creakle" (or something closely similar) when my father and I sailed her in the late '60s at Sutton in Ashfield.  We were told the name was inspired by a combination of "up the creek" and "in the treacle".

A correction is needed to the previous message. The boat was first purchased by David White of Trent Valley Sailing Club and was named Creekle. I have not heard anything of its whereabouts since the 1960's.
