Built in Cardiff Wales in 1913 designed by Wright (of whom I can find nothing ) 28' by 8' by 4'10", a traditional gaff cutter to which a square sail has been added, inspired largely by the writings of Claud Worth. The photograph was taken by the editor of a Russian classic boat magazine anchored nearby, one Sergei, a single hander.

Ayesha of Huon
Here is the yacht "Ayesha of Huon"

She was designed and built by Athol Walter at Port Huon in southern Tasmania in 1987.
David bought her 24 years ago and sailed her up to the NSW north coast. She is now moored on Pittwater just north of Sydney.
She is 33 feet long, cutter rigged and built of Huon pine planks on laminated Celery Top pine frames.
David says "Maintaining her varnished hull is an act of love...or madness"
Well as David has owned her for 24 years, I reckon it is an act of love!

Kathleen
She was designed by Derek Vaughan's father - William Edward Vaughan who built the hull, mahogany clinker on oak in 1967/68. At this time the ‘troubles’ started within Northern Ireland and Derek's parents decided to move to a country village and his father gave up nearly all to do with boat building. Consequently the boat was stored in a large shed and remained unfinished until 2013 when Derek was able to take on the task and finally complete his fathers work. With no plans Derek designed and decided what the final outcome would be. Quite a few people along the way provided much needed and excellent advice (including Arthur Beale's!). Her overall length is 20 feet and 7 foot at the beam. Engine is a Nanni diesel 38HE. All the paint, caulk, varnish and fittings supplied via Arthur Beales.
A great project and story. Well done Derek!

Breda
Builder: J.W.Brooke & Co. Ltd
Type: Motor Cruiser
Length: 52ft
Beam: 12’6”
Sleeps: 4 guests and 2 crew
Breda was built in Lowestoft by Brooke’s in 1931. She was originally called Dab II and owned by one Colonel Hardy. When the Colonel discovered that the Royal Navy had commandeered his motor yacht from Haybridge Basin, Essex for use in Operation Dynamo he was not best pleased, not because they had taken his yacht but because he had not had the chance to go along with her.
Captained by Lieutenant R.W. Thompson, she crossed the channel an impressive 3 times in 6 days. On her final return journey, she brought back a load of Dutch soldiers, who had come from Breda in Holland after fighting a gallant rear-guard action westward to Dunkirk, being driven by the weight of the German advance.
When Colonel Hardy was finally reunited with his yacht, he thought it appropriate to rename her Breda in honour of her distinguished war record and in memory of the soldiers she saved on that final voyage. Breda took part in the 2012 Queen Jubilee Pageant on the Thames Breda’s restoration by current owner Alain Lamens started in October 2017 and will be finished by the end of 2020. She will have been completely restored and rebuilt to her original design, except for the internal arrangement. She has been fitted a wet room at the forward, a twin berth cabin, a master cabin with full double and vanity desk, two bars, sally and saloon, guest heads. All original decks were kept, refurbished and re-installed. The restoration was performed by Michael Dennett Boatbuilders and a lot of the electrical work by owner. Alasdair Flint of Arthur Beale installed all steel and rope rigging to secure the 30ft tall mast and singling mast.
