albergman Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Hi Need to reach out to you knowledgeable marine types. I have a friend in the UK who wants to build a model of a UK yacht he lived on as a young(er) man. Says it was a Victory class (1890`s) and was called `Vanity` and at another time `Mary`. Seems it was a sister ship to Partridge and maybe Marigold (or close in age) and designed by Charles Nicholson. Partridge and Marigold have been restored and still sailing so there`s lots of pictures and videos of them available. He`d still like to find drawings or pictures of Vanity so if anyone can point me to any information we would be very grateful. Thanks Albergman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Swindell Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Has he tried contacting Camper & Nicholsons? If they have archives they may have something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albergman Posted May 6, 2017 Author Share Posted May 6, 2017 Thanks for the reply Dave. I don't believe he has tried C&N and knowing him, he'd probably feel that was too intrusive to bother them. I've managed to capture a lot of images of "Partridge" from videos and he thinks she was a close sister ship so he'll probably just go with that if nothing else shows up.
