She was called Lionheart (of Maldon), when we bought her in Bradwell in 1992 from a retired lighthouse-keeper, so I wonder if she is the Coeur de Lion of Wight in the list on your website. We gave her the name Naima (of Greenwich). She had a red hull when we bought her but we painted it white. We've sailed mostly on the East coast, apart from a few years when we kept her at Island Harbour Marina on the Isle of Wight for a few years, where we had her re-decked by Mr Richardson.


We were told she was built around 1960/61 – this matches Coeur de Lion which your website says was built in 1961.
