History

This Royal Mersey Mylne class yacht TRILBY was built by Dickies of Bangor in 1936 for Mr S S Stott of Trearddur Bay Sailing Club. TRILBY sailed off Anglesey until 1953 when she moved to the Mersey. She suffered some damage while laid up in 1977 and was subsequently presented to the Merseyside Maritime Museum by the Royal Mersey Yacht Club in 1983. - see article on Class in Classic Boat 2000 July page 91 GH Oct 2012
