Anybody seen this lady recently? She's a 40' (50' oa) mounts bay lugger, rigged now as a gaff ketch, with a distinctive doghouse midships. As she's my favourite boat in the whole world I'd like to know if she's in one piece. She was in London a year or two ago, having moved from the westcountry, but i've no idea where she is now, although I did hear a rumour she might have been in Brighton? Cheers, Will

I understand that her last keeper was somewhat slack, and let his father sell her out from underneath him!

Yes, apparently the young un and the old un decided that it was necessary to buy a smaller boat so that when large friends came sailing it would be easier to park nearer the pub!
