Design 1061 Fairwyn

This 43' yawl was built for the commodore of the commodore of the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Squadron, one Charles MacCulloch. She was built by James McGruer & Co., Ltd of Scotland and launched in the autumn of 1957.
Here are the plans.


It looks like one, possibly two sisterships were built to this design in Sweden.
Here's an article from Yachting magazine.

Follow Up to 1061 Fairwyn

As a follow up to my posting of Monday, February 21, the owner of Faiwyn pointed out that the image posted was not of his boat and must be of a sistership. He is correct. The image shown above is the only photograph we have of the boat. The image is very dark and sure looks like it was taken in the evening.
