    Yes she was there with the following boats

    Shelandra,  owned by Tom Brown
    Sun reve, owned by Brian Brown
    Claira, owned by Ian Price

    Think there may of been a couple of others as well, Strandby?

    She was wooden construction and about 48ft. Think it was built 50's 60's?
    If she was 48ft  she wud be more than 9mtrs ?
    The Reynard 2 also appeared in shields at same time
    thanks bumblecannon the strandby was sold  from shields to ramsgate. i remember the shelandra she came up with the sunreve ione year but i dont think she stayed that long.i dont know where ian went after he sold the clara, and  i suppose brian brown is retired now.

    Ian spends most of his time playing bowls, he travels all over the world playing. I see him from time to time.
    I see Brian most days he was gardening but is now retired. Tom brought a 23ft clinker boat which Brian goes out angling on, for pleasure and when the weather allows
