NANDURA was built for J Dundas to a design by Rodney Warrington Smyth by the Falmouth Boat Building Company and completed in August 1957. Classed Lloyds 100A1 from 1959. Registered in Falmouth, official number 185809. NANDURA was built with sea-going and coastal cruising in mind to a trawler style having a steadying rig of 170 sq.ft. together with 100hp S6M Perkins diesel engines. In 1961 Mr & Mrs Ralph Pickett became the second owners and as members of the Royal Motor Yacht Club and Poole Harbour Yacht Club stationed NANDURA at Poole, where they lived. F C Thrush of Godalming, Surrey became the next owner in May 1970, continuing to moor the vessel in Poole. In June 1975 R A Partridge of Sittingbourne, Kent acquired NANDURA moving her to a Medway mooring. The current owners bought the vessel in 1983 and have enjoyed nearly four decades of cruising from their Thames mooring, NANDURA being a much loved family boat. During those years specialist classic boat restorers Dennett’s have looked after NANDURA with more recently a new transom fitted. Last surveyed 2017.
