REMARKS
"Sally Ann" was built in 1949 and sailed on the NE coast and later the Thames Estuary. The ply for her hull is believed to be the remnant from a WW2 Mosquito build. Her hull was taken back to bare wood 4 years ago and repainted in blue. Her owner would consider taking a rowing dinghy in part exchange.
