Description

Henrietta is a copy of the smack yacht "Secret" (built in 1932), which is still sailing. John Tyrell took a mould from the hull and built a small number of yachts in his yard at Faversham, Kent. Henrietta is No. 8. I have owned her for 24 years.

She was covered by an article in the magazine "the Boatman" and I can email copies to those of you with a keen interest in her.
