Why so, Martin?
It has recently come to light that Christina hull numbers 110 and 120 both of which measure 23'6", and which have a very similar hull shape and spray rails to the known 23s with Fairey hulls may indeed be 'missing links' : hulls built by Walter Lawrence before the longer and beamier 25' hulls with the 'final' spray rails to Ray Hunt's design.
Could this be another?
Sadly, BC hull numbers are not helpful, and we know of two boats numbered 110!
Copies of any Christina ships papers would be much appreciated, thanks.
