History

Had some good news at last....... I contacted the sail registrar of the Silhouette Owners association to see if he had any history on my boat. He has a wealth of information on silhouette's and keeps the original records of many.

I could'nt supply him with much information as my sails had "gone missing" so no sail number was present. I did, however have the original build number which was carved into one of the forward frames.

I could'nt believe it. He had her on record! "Kathleen-Charlotte" was built in 1960 and has the sail number "471". She used to sail out of the river Blackwater before moving to the Kennelworth area.

I've informed Mr. Heald of the SOIA of the name change etc., and he's updated the records. I'm pleased to discover that she's one of the original "Hurley" built boats and with the sail number "471", one of the oldest still around!
