Devon was sold in 2002 and became a home for the new owner for the next nine years and was renamed "Little Griff"

She is seen here in July 2011 having just changed hands and needing lots of refitting & improvement works. The roof vents were removed and the interior floor boarding rotten. The boat is in a very sorry state and the engine block was cracked over the winter. The engine needs replacing after depositing 8" of very oily water into the bilge.

The boat is structurally sound so the new owner is looking forward to the project ahead.
