Many thanks to John, Andy and Peter for their responses. I had thought of the Tideway Owners' Association but not the Dinghy Cruising Association - what a good idea!
She doesn't have a name yet, partly because we don't want to name her until we have actually brought her home, partly because we have not yet had any good ideas! We don't want to name her directly after one of the Ransome characters or boats, but something with a subtle Ransome connection might be nice.
I can't remember what number the seller said she had been allocated by the Tideway Owners' Association, but it would be a 'zero' number as she precedes the formal establishment of the class. The sail emblem is an S with a little L and W at the corners, which the TOA class information says is the earliest Tideway sail emblem.
