Quote
from Peter Merrett:-
"I don't know that much about it but it has a small Kelly and Hall makers plate attached by the stern lockers and I was told this would date it's construction to 1968/69. I purchased it two years ago from a Gentleman in Norfolk who renamed it to Alphonso from Busy Bee (or similar)and who also painted it Norwich City FC colours of green and Canary yellow but that's basically all the history of the vessel I have. I don't know how long it was under his ownership nor where he purchased it from but if anyone can shed any more light on where it's lived for the past 36 years I'd be very interested to find out."
