Interesting that, saw it in the EDP too.

I'm quite intrigued because it was initially advertised in the brochure and websites for weekly hire. I think a failrly hefty security deposit was required. I wonder if they've changed it to daily skippered hire because there wasn't the take up for weekly hire or because it's been damaged or they are worried about it getting damaged? Also wonder if they've taken the berths out and put seats in?

I think you may be right re take up

every time I walked around the yard last year it was in

I wish they hadn’t painted the cabin side, it just doesn’t look right.

I'm fairly sure that the fore end wouldn't have looked like that back in 1927.

I've seen her out on the rivers twice now under hire.   Been onboard for a nosey when in H.W's too,  I donated them an oak control knob as well (I paid the forum funds on their behalf)  I'll have some photo's of her somewhere or t'other.  We did briefly consider her for our annual Lads week but only sleeping four was impractical for our number of crew
