Can anyone help find an Eventide ?

I would love to be able to find an Eventide that my father built. Does anyone know of an Eventide bought as a completed hull and collected from a farm near Stokesley N. Yorks around 1980 ish ? The hull was built as a labour of love over 12 years of my childhood, double diagonal mahogany planked, beautiful woodwork, through riveted. As a family we all took part in the build, but increasing price of wood, and a house move stopped progress. The hull was finally sold with bulkheads, deck beams fitted and cockpit framed out etc as a project to finish.
Dad is 80 next year and I'd love to find her again and find out if she was ever finished and sailed.
Any ideas anyone ?
Thx Dave

Hi there Dave,

I wonder if you have a sail number? I was responsible for the sale of many sets of drawings years ago, and though the books were lost in the collapse of the old associaton, we do have extensive records and you fathers boat may have been recorded by sail number or even by former owners name...

If you have any details please mail the EOG direct om enquiries@eventides.org.uk.

We will see if we can help you, hope she got finished off, could be sailing somewhere...

Regards,
John
