Thank you so much for the information-it sounds like it must have been the same Sheldrake. I will look for the engine plate and publish it here.

Hi I've just come across this post and wondered whether you did compile a list? I have a 40ft woodentop built by Pinder in 1978 which (after reading this thread), I think was possibly a Willow Wren (Rugby) hire boat. This is just a guess and I may be wrong but she has a birds name, Sheldrake, and an old Lister SR3 which I was told may well be older than the boat. I would be interested in finding out more about her history.
