Quote
from Doug Elliott:-
"This is the 19ft Drascombe Peterboat built by John Watkinson
as a one off. Started life with a spritsail, jib and mizzen then was converted
to a gunter main with a curved yard (similar to 'Cariad' the 6metre Peterboat)
and large jib, she was an extremely fast boat and came in just a few minutes
behind a Fireball in a race from Plymouth to Newton Ferrers."
