The SBS galleries are full of little treasures. Following the link from the scale Victory image it lead to the Stanley Page collection and this:

I wondered what happened to the boat so searched:

Great, that's the second boat that still survives (see previous posts on 'Ruda') - I wonder if Trotters or Stan know? (Come to that - do the existing owners know of the photos of Balbus on this website?)

Yes I had heard about this, Lee Fisher (Ruda Crew), sent me a link late last year, we both thought it best not to say anything to Stan about it. Sad way for a boat to end up.
