Yachtmasters in Woodbridge (as Roach Says), they are very good, I used to use them, until I bought a boat which the previous insurers were happy to continuing covering without a new survey. Wehring Und Wolfes in Germany. I can PM you if interested.

50 foot Fife? Lots more details please! Are you going to keep it on the East Coast? Will you come to the Suffolk Yacht Harbour Regatta? I for one would love to see it there.

absolutely, the more options for potential providers the better

as for details, well, built 1938, called 'Pansy', she on the historic small ships register: http://nationalhistoricships.org.uk/index.cfm/event/getVessel/vref/1918/pic/5

but needs some TLC, luckily it mostly cosmetic. the previous owner spent an outrageous amount of money on her - replanking, new frames, new deck.... but took the masts off and built a new wheelhouse that I'm not mad keen on, and binned the lovely old Kelvin that was in her

our plan is to try get her back to her original self as much as possible, get the masts put back on if we can find a source, and redo the wheelhouse back to her original. other wise she is a very very solid boat for her age

as she was: http://ebgb.net/misc/pansy.jpg

what she became: http://ebgb.net/misc/img00610.jpg

at the moment she is same as above colour wise, minus masts and the wheelhouse was redone much the same size but the windows are huge
