Fairey Marine sales ledger unclear, sadly most of the detail for this Firefly illegible. Boat seemingly not initially registered with RYA or NFA.
Sales ledger suggests perhaps initially delivered to The Wirrall.
1st owner – Dr Vernon Pugh, Royal Dart YC after completion of his medical training at Liverpool University
August 2019 – advertised for sale with images, in Poole, www.gumtree and eBay.
August 2019 – Alastair Vines, Redditch SC, second owner only
See F244, F344, F2862, F3040 & F4125
Owner describes this Firefly as “complete, virtually “as new” and untouched, with all original gear, original varnish and fittings, 45 lb steel centre – plate, Fairey Marine Reynolds spars, original Ratsey & Lapthorn sails, original buoyancy bags, seldom used by her first owner and carefully stored for many years.”
Seemingly the NFA’s first contact with this Firefly
