Correct - the Jack Tar was a brand of boat stove. Now extinct.

The Handy Billy was a Thorneycroft engine - still occasionally found in vintage River Thames launches, who pride themselves on these things. Long extinct as a sailing boat auxiliary.

GOBLIN is clearly fitted with Major Wykeham Martin's jib furling gear, since the sail rolls up on itself, though the product is not named. Still in production.

Incidentally GOBLIN is visibly flying the burgee of the Royal Cruising Club - as did NANCY BLACKETT when owned by AR - he was a member.
