Does Anybody Know Where I Am Now?
Mr & Mrs Fairbairns bought her out of Orkney in ???? and took her to Southwold.
Sold to Mr & Mrs Baylis in 1978 and kept at Lymington.
The Baylis's sold her in 1982 gentleman named Doug Miller.
She was then reportedly sold to a retired policeman and fell into a state of disrepair on a mooring at Dartmouth
Wooden Ships of Dartmouth were the last known brokers to sell her to presumably the present owners.
She was reported to have been in a yard at Glampton on the River Dart for a major refit post 2000.
The yard apparently stripped her back to little more than a hull, an engine and a partial deck frame.
In April of 2003 the work was nearing completion, and it is believed that the intention was to take the boat to the Netherlands.
