V 15 MARGUERITE OF POOLE

Marguerite of Poole is one of the early post war Vertues built to the Kishti drawings by Elkins in Christchurch.  She is as architypical as they come, with her tall masthead bermudan sloop rig, short doghouse, lively sheer and comparatively low freeboard.

She has had an eventful life and is now being restored in West Vancouver, BC, Canada.
