Hi Chris,
I had wondered if there was a Beccles connection, one because of the similarity to Hipperson 32 and (2) because many of the other ...time boats originated at Freemans, however, fraid my catalogues don't go back far enough - do you know when Freeman sold his boats to Woods & Richardsons, 'cos a number appear to be c mid-60s vintage?
I really do need to pick your brains more

Since the original posting, I've found a lot more about this design - it was designed by Arnott Fowler, who I was please to meet for the first time at the VWBA Rally - her also designed the Hipperson's version with the canvas canopy, hence the similarity.

I can tell you a bit more about the boat, i bought it from anglia yacht brokers in 1996 and moved it to the river ouse closer to home it was called watersdown when we got it but its original name was gay stream 4 reg no. was E20 i sold it in 2000 and it was in great condition then, was very sad to see these photos of it. I fitted the wood burning stove in it hence the chimney but for some reason the next owner has fibreglassed over the roof and the lovely 1" thick mahogany sides. I was told that the boat was built by Hippersons in 1965 Hope this helps

See, people, everything comes to he who waits. three and a half years, in this case!
Hi, Mark_H, and welcome to the Forum! Where on earth did you dig this thread up from? Whatever, fascinating bit of history to have, there are plenty of mysteries waiting to be solved. Thanks for your input.
Regards, Ray.
If it's neither here, nor there, then where is it?
