History
SESAME was designed and built as a yacht by R S Burt of Falmouth in 1906. She has had a series of owners and home ports (NMMC boat file). Her name was changed in 1920 to TERRAPIN but reverted to SESAME in 1926. Her current owner is carrying out a major restoration. June 2010 (Picture courtesy of FQP Association/NMMC)
