Perhaps a quick intro inc some pictures might be good, save people having to piece it all together?

I was hoping Jimmy would do one, edit the original post so it's nicely at the top? I don't know enough about and and can't even find the photo's anymore!! So I'm interested to read it! my version may miss out some rather vital details!

I found this on the net, I believe its one of the shorter whalebacks. If I have spoiled anyone’s copy right by posting this pic let me know and il remove it.

Would that make it the same class as HSL 145?

Why are such good looking boats named after such ugly looking creatures? Retorical question please don't provide answers. Seriously though Clive what are you intending to do with her? Can she reasonably be made whole again or is it a case of seeing if there are any goood bits left?
