Introduce Yourself section, but it seemed more appropriate to move it here.

Saw a Seahawk 17 called Skylark for sale in Andy Seedhouse's yard, Woodbridge, Suffolk.
There are mentions of a similar named boat elsewhere in the forum, but it doesn't look like the same one. This has no inboard engine, or evidence of one fitted previously (no hole repairs in the hull, or invasion of the cockpit area).
I know of three Skylarks and a Skylarking. The boat you mention is the colourful one with an unusual engine installation:

it does have a number painted on the bows F269.
That is a Broads Authority Registration. One image can be found at the excellent Boats of the Broads database:

Does anyone know anything about her?
I have photographs of her, supplied by someone who viewed her when she was being sold at Ludham Bridge Boatyard in 2009. I also have some images sent by the new owner dated July 2010. By then she appears to be in a large coastal marina. I'll need to look through my files to identify the senders of these sets of images and possible location of the second batch.
