Possibly the oldest surviving International 12’ Dinghy in the UK - the ‘YWURRY International 12’ is currently being restored at the West Wales Maritime Heritage Museum in Pembroke Dock.

This boat was donated to the Museum by Francis Gaydon and originally owned by Francis’ grandfather H R Gaydon, who represented Great Britain in the 12 foot dinghy class in the 1928 Olympics.

Ywurry is currently being restored as a navigable International 12’ Dinghy by Chris Barlow at the Museum.

Francis said: “She belonged to my grandfather Mr. H R Gaydon, and he raced her on the Crouch (Burnham-on-Crouch Essex).

“He soon had another 12’ built (Iwunda) and went on to race in the class during the 1920s, gaining some notoriety he took part in the 1928 Olympics.

“When racing ended he was so angry that he swapped Iwunda for a radio, and converted Ywurry to use with his family, including my late father.”
