I may be able to help..eventually, as Bill, I believe, is an in-law of one of my in-laws...so may take some days to get a contact..
If it is the same fellow the boat was built over many years in his garden in Linthorpe and craned out to launch site...

Ha ha very good Whickers, it had crossed my mind!
Didn't Bill Quay marry one of the Walker girls?

Geoff you are on the right track, Paul has told me she was built over around 25 years and she is a 60 foot motor cruiser, looks well built. Will post a photo when I have resized it.

Just got a photo from her owner.
Geoff, if you can find if Bill is on the internet then we could put them in touch with each other.
