Pure speculation on my part, she has the look and volume of a working boat with her transom rudder, but the curved stem suggests that she was built as a yacht, perhaps by a yard which also built working craft?

At first sight you expect her to be gaff rigged, but again the tall Bermudian rig speaks again of a yacht heritage.

That flush deck gives her a very purposeful look and would be a great platform for working sails and anchor gear.
Bursledon, it is a very nice boat. It should be nice to know some of her history...

A Greylag with an impressive pedigree is listed here, from a yard that produced both yachts and workboats. Same boat, perhaps?
ReplyDeleteIf so, she'd be just 50 years old this year.
She's a Harrison Bulter built in 1932 to the Cyclone II design. More info:
