Merlin 101 'Dryad' is one of the original Jack Holt Merlin design. She was built by Woottens at Cookham.
The 1951 YB shows her owner as J A Wilson, The School House, Goring-on-Thames, Reading and Goring Thames SC.
Every YB from 1962 to 1986 show her owner as Major E Crogham with a last known address of 5 Woden House, Goring-on-Thames, Reading, Berks and Goring Thames SC.
The 1987 book is the first to report the boat as 'destroyed'.
If she is still alive please let me know.

I did make enquiries about this boat a long time ago.  It is not 101 if I remember rightly it is circa 1800 and based Fawley Hants.  I did advise vendor to get advert changed but clearly has not been done.
