Batteries under the bridge deck.Varnished teak sliding hatch and wash-board to the cabin entrance, slightly off-set to stbd. A traditional varnished mahogany sky-light with twin opening lights gives light and ventilation to the cabin, fitted new about 20 years ago.The coach-roof deck is in T&G pine boards, sheathed externally and trimmed in teak beading round the edges.The coach-roof is narrow, typical of Harrison Butler designs leaving generous, clear side decks and the coamings extend aft to form the cock-pit coamings.Varnished mahogany coach-roof coamings with 3 bronze opening port holes each side.

BROKERS COMMENT:
Early Lloyds Registers list Judy Anne as being a Harrison Butler design and she certainly bears close resemblance to the Englyn design of 1932 but with slightly larger overall dimensions and increased volume. During the 1930’s she belonged to R J S Crowe of Weston Super Mare, he was a member of Barry Yacht Club and Judy Anne was a familiar sight in the Bristol Channel right up to the mid 1950’s when she was sold to D E Davies of Bath. He moved to Falmouth in the mid 1960’s and Judy Anne was stationed in the Helford River for the following twenty years, remaining in the area in new ownership.
