Boat History
Built for Mr. Showering, (then owner of the Babycham Drinks Co.) with Sloop Rig.
She was returned to Faireys as the coachroof screws were not marine grade, so were replaced.
Acquired by the latest owner in 1997, she was renamed Gwendoline and now lies in Plymouth
It has been noticed that the "Penny" washers used under the deck fitting are actually old pennies - Presumably pennies were cheaper than penny washers at the time.
The current owner is keen to help out other Fisherman owners and can be contact via the Fairey Owners' Club Committee.
