Lot Essay

Adela, designed by William C. Storey and built by Fay & Co. at Southampton, was owned by Mr. Claud Cayley of Tunbridge Wells. Registered at 224 tons gross, she measured 109 feet in length with a 22 foot beam and made her debut at the Kiel Regatta shortly after she was launched on 29th April 1903. Sold by Mr. Cayley just prior to the Great War, she was renamed Heartease by a subsequent owner in 1924 and was still afloat after the Second World War.
