History

NOSILA was built in 1946 by H B Hornby & Co, at Wallasey and is a yacht of timber carvel construction, rigged as a Bermudan cutter with a BMC diesel engine of 38 hp. It is believed that NOSILA was commissioned by a doctor for use as a pleasure craft. In 2009, she was undergoing restoration and based in Surrey.

Update, January 2024: After being sold at least twice, NOSILA has been abandoned at Rye Harbour, East Sussex.
