A Laurent-Giles designed Bermudan yawl, built by Camper and Nicholsons in 1952 with yard number 784, she is 58 ft length overall with an 8.5' draft.[1] Now renamed Lutine of Helford. In 2014 Lutine I was listed for sale with an asking price of £339,000; the listing describes her as having been found "derelict" in 1999 and having undergone a complete rebuild before relaunch in 2001. She was evidently restored to excellent condition, and sold within a few months.[2] A model is displayed in the Lloyd's Register of Shipping offices in Southampton having been loaned by the LLYC Commodore.
