Slug had "a short iron bowsprit" and a "patch-gaffed mainsail and staysail".

So that photo isn't Slug.

Once he'd bought Kittiwake, there's a mention of moving to Latvia in the autobiography, in Summer 1921. "We rented rooms in a small house in Kaiserwald, outside Riga, on the shores of the Stint Sea, a pleasant lake beside the forest. A Lettish boat-builder made me, in a few days, a small boat for fishing and sailing with a fishbox built around the centreboard case and a small leg-of-mutton sail."

Possibly that (unnamed) boat?
