Bantam_Dave21, I think its fair to say this is the same boat!. This is proving very interesting thank you so much for your input.
I bought her at Red Hill Marina near Nottingham on the Soar where she is still on a hardstanding awaiting shotblasting and blacking. My survey suggests the hull is not yet at the end of its life and from reading this thread, that is very much down to the work done by Yamanx.
I am in the process of refitting her as Yamanx's handywork had succumbed to damp and a shower leaking into the bilge for presumably quite a while
Any further info or photographs you may have would be fascinating!
Chris
