Is morning Star still going? Be great if she was. The only references I can find for her are the Boston schooner that was a missionary vessel in 1866.
Boadicea looks fantastic, and its good to hear she's still owned by the same family. I feel a related topic coming on...

Sadly after my Parents sold her, the next owner kept her ashore for a couple of years while working on her. Not surprisingly she dried out and was eventually scrapped by burning. In hindsight, it was a terrible waste but at that time no one was interested in taking her on.
I look at boats like that and really do appreciate how much work needs to be done to keep them in commission. Despite only being a kid at the time, I spent most weekends working on the boat with my Dad during which time we fitted new floors, keel bolts, engine (Petrol Mid 50's vintage), rudder fittings (it fell off in Cowes, next to Uffa Fox's house) and so on.
When my Parents bought her, she came with a trawl net as the previous owner intended to go fishing with her - bit of a dreamer, I think!
Cheers.
