Fred Lawley’s role as designer and specifier was no sinecure but based on a formal education and sound apprenticeship also as a builder. His yachts are noted for combining his thorough understanding of modern practice with careful attention to the detail of materials and sound methods of construction. Although few of his yachts achieved racing success, they were much admired for their beauty of line, excellence of finish, sea going qualities and comfort.

CARINA, formerly OLD GLORY, is one such lovely wooden motor yacht with beautiful lines culminating in a canoe transom with a graceful sweep. The interior is simple, largely original with elegant touches and fixtures. It is evident that CARINA has had significant upgrading in recent years, raising the bar, both structurally and cosmetically to her original glory.
