Now thanks to tme (and Ian MacDonald) we get to have a peek down below.She was built in 1919, is approx. 33’ and powered by a 35hp BMW engine, that gets her along at 8 knots.

Hi Alan.
For your records:
Liberty has sold.
She will leave Clevedon Cruising Club and
reside on a swing mooring in Coromandel harbour I am told.

Thanks for the heads up Barry . Alan H
