As ACB mentioned a while back, Albert Strange's jaw-dropping 40ft CHARM II languished in Brighton (UK) Marina in 2002. I've established she left there in the autumn of that year, it is thought for Spain, suggesting she was seaworthy at that time. Anyone in Spain seen her? Here (http://woodenships.free.fr/fiche%20bateaux%20aurique/ba-charm.html) is a very stale brokerage web page about her which may vanish at anytime. She is picture at Brighton. She is the larger sister to VENTURE (the 29ft prototype and AS's last design, now in Scotland and lovingly restored), Thad's SEA HARMONY (33ft), and the UK based CHARM (33ft). The ASA would like to 'catch up' with this beauty.

"a yacht named CHARM II of London, I saw gracing a bay in Anguilla, have had the same impact. [Surely Strange’s CHARM II, the largest VENTURE derivative, last seen rotting in Brighton Marina! – Ed]"

Heard from Bill tonight - turns out the Anguilla yacht was a different boat. Doesn't detract from Albert's C-II though!
