Looking for my old boat, Halcyon 73833

Just out of interest. Last time I saw her she was in Bluewater Marina and looking in a very sorry state. She was sold through Ebay around May 2019. I'm just interested to see if the new owner has managed to bring her back to a nice little boat. I've also got a bit of history, if the new owner is interested,

 

I have no reason to think this, but I suspect she hasn't been moved very far and is possibly still in the Yorkshire area.

 

Thanks, Kevin

I knew this boat many years ago, a couple of owners before you, I found it a bit dangerous without a gun whale to walk along, you could easily get caught out, what I remember no one knew the builder, it was thought to be a home made shell as there was no shape to the bow just straight un-curved steelwork. The boat seams to of always been around the Doncaster/Thorne area.

There's some resemblance to our first boat 'Octavia', built by "Atlas" about whom, we discovered after we'd bought her, no one knew anything.

Used to be called 'Scorpio', I met Chris who changed the name to 'Halcyon' a few times. Does appear to be a home build, probably around 1986. Thanks for replies.
