History
WINSOME is a Motor Yacht of teak and oak construction built by Dikkes of Bangor in 1927 for Edgar Duerr of the Duerr marmalade family, who was an inventor and keen yachtsman. She was used on the Thames in the 1930s and was also the committee boat for the Classic Boat Association.
During the Second World War she was requisitioned by the Royal Navy and was put on the lakes of Snowdonia.
Under current ownership since 2017, she has been rebuilt by Lallows of Cowes and now lies at Yarmouth, Isle of Wight.
