lovely shaped hull looks like a berry boat to me iroko on oak?
Polyester resin on glass Whitby
She is/was a Tyler Watson 37 GRP hull. She was in Plymouth for a short while around 1983. She had a huge refit then was sold on fairly quickly. I think she was built as a tangle netter for Helford in the mid-seventies, her number then was FH 313.

looks like she's buried the leg this side looking at the scary water mark.would't want to be sitter on there waiting for her to come up
this boat ever called sweet charity ?
No, Sweet Charity was another one although she was also a Tyler Watson 37. She was fitted out for Polperro in about 1978 with a 6LX, registered as FY 514 but was sold to the Oban area not too long after.
She came back south to Plymouth in 1981 as OB 255 before being sold again a couple of years later. I think she was then sold to Ireland where she remained until recently. I seem to recall reading she has recently been de-commissioned or sunk but I'm not sure.

Forgot to say, I think Shangri La went to Holyhead on the dogs after Plymouth, her old BS lettering can just be made out at the bow here.

sweet charity was in largs mid 80's, then i think she went to Ireland
