The life of N1012 Caprice. Design: , designed by: Jack Holt

[Midge]

Caprice is currently complete and in a barn in Bedfordsire awaiting restoration.  She needs a few timbers, a couple of planks and a new deck.  The boat has the original daffodil yellow cotton sails so should be eye-catching with the varnished hull.  
I do have some history including a letter from Jack Holt about building the boat himself.
