    Photos in post 1 and 12 are of the same boat. I examined the portholes and are exactly the same.
    same racked masts, and funnel
    Re. to post 13
    in the first photo was added an open fourth bridge over the front of the superstructure and perhaps a small cabin aft of the funnel.
    IMHO she's SONA

    Just to add to the opinion that Pic 1 is indeed the SONA. My Grandfather served on her for 12 years and the below image is a family photo, which might be useful to readers for comparison and out of interest.

    She's a beautiful yacht, with or without her bell.

    Some of these old lines need to be brought back to modern day life....

    Hello Manusel,
    Thank you for your comment and I have indeed already joined your fb group to which you refer over the weekend. It looks very good.
