commissioned by Jimmy Pearce and built by Henry
Roberts in 1903. She is Dandy
rigged with an extensive sail inventory fitted by Mike
Barker of Gillingham in Kent who used to

her round to Mounts Bay and she is presently
moored in Penzance wet dock. John renamed her "Grace" in 2004
after his mother.
The first pictures are in 1998
at Ipswich and sailing in the Swale, then we
see her moored against Ocean Pride in Penzance,
July 2003. The next ones were taken at the Looe
Lugger Regatta in June 2003.
The following were taken in
February 2004 moored alongside the Ocean Pride
on a very fine morning:-
