History
LADY SYBIL H was built as a Royal Navy pinnace in 1931 by Harland & Wolff, Belfast and is a vessel of diagonal teak construction with a Leyland 90 diesel engine.
Although not confurmed it is believed that she served in Dunkirk and later sold out of service in 1946 and professionally converted to a private motor yacht for Edwin Hands. After some years in Cardiff Bay the current owner's grandfather bought the boat in 1955 and moved her to the non tidal River Severn.
