Quote from Doug Elliott:-

"Here's another one for your website, it's 'Little Mo' a Drascombe Skiff with a rather unusual one off rig, a battened loose footed gunter main on a curved yard with a lightweight boom. We built this one in 1976 (I think) for David Gallop, she was named after his wife Maureen. About 3 years previously we had built the Drascombe Lugger 'Captain Morgan'(named after his favourite tipple)for him, which he subsequently sold and this was the boat he chose as a replacement, not sure where she is now and cannot remember the name she was given. David lived at Brixton near Plymouth and mostly sailed on the upper reaches of the River Yealm."
