Many thanks Jon for sorting out the link. I will give it another go to post a couple more recreations.
Titty is 11' 6" overall, she's a Sparklet design built by J James of Brightlingsea in 1952. At first the design was Una-rigged with a gunter mast arrangement, but mine has a small bowsprit (I prefer to call it a jibboom!) for a small jib. However, the rig in the photo uses a simple lug sail which I had on a boat when I was a teenager in Wroxham. It's an old, proper cotton sail, probably at least as old as the boat. I do have the original sails too, but the previous owner got a new set made LARGER than the original which I fear strains her too much.
