Finding out about my Meteor Yacht

I spent today driving round Norfolk trying to find the boatyard where Mystery, my Meteor yacht, was built.
I was around 7 years too late: The boatyard had been converted into Acle Marina though the folks there were friendly and pointed me to the owner who hangs out at Marine Tech. Both those are part of Russell Marine who apparently bought the boatyard at Acle and did the conversion to a lovely small marina.
The websites are a bit confusing because the folks at Marine Tech said they didn't do boat repair work any more but Russell Marine's websites mention 10 ton lift-outs and cruiser building.
Still I have a phone number to ring next week to speak to the father who may remember something of the old history.
Oh, and I managed to buy a couple of spark plugs for Moonfleet too :)

Mystery the Meteor Yacht

Well, i've gone and done it! I have agreed to buy Mystery; A 21ft classic Meteor yacht dating from 1956. It is in unappealing condition, currently stood on a trailer in a field and has been described by the wife as 'firewood'.
The current owner suggests paint and a bit of TLC is all that is required. We shall have to see whose assessment is more accurate.
I have a couple of friends who have agreed to help with the sanding and painting so may get to sail her this year.
Now i'm off to find a friendly boatyard where I can get the boat fettled into sailing order.

Oh, and i've just found a boatbuilding ruler for converting imperial to metric, in order to fit imperial designs onto metric-sized sheets of plywood. It is a simple idea - the kind I like best!
