Hayle was broken up at Tangiers in the early 60's as far as we know.
Almond is serving as North Devon Yacht Club's race officer's launch I think.
 
Other sightings courtesy of Phil Simons;
Butley - Exeter 7/02. Ermex ex Erme - Thames 1/98. Frume - Bristol 5/90. 12/04. Bure - Isleworth, R Thames 2/05. An unidentified one called "Gentle Maid" was at Sandwich, but was BU c1994 (was either Crouch or Dee). Eden was reported at Malta 1993 but no updates since. "Moonstorm" was broken up in Gibraltar in 2005/6 but was never identified.
 
I wonder which is the one at Southwold? Are the photos very recent?
