Register of Wooden Boats

The Register of Wooden Boats lists information about wooden boats 10′ LOA (length overall) and above. It came into being after, and because, the annual Lloyd’s Register of American Yachts and the subsequent short-lived North American Yacht Register ceased publication. To submit your boat for inclusion in the Register of Wooden Boats, follow the instructions on this page. All submissions are subject to editing and approval.

Built 1938 in Hamble, Southampton, England by A.R. Luke Brothers, Clover was seconded to the Royal Navy in 1939 and fitted with ASDIC (named after the Anti-Submarine Detection Investigation Committee), later known as sonar, which is still aboard her. At the time it was a new secret device invented for locating submerged submarines by using sound waves. After the war her original owner, Eric Thompson, RNR, sailed her through the 1950', when she was purchased by an English family that took her to Jamaica to live aboard. She then passed through several hands and operated as a charter boat and a pleasure craft, but by the 2000’s fell into disrepair. Heading for the breaker's yard, she was acquired by WBFV in 2016 with the purpose of restoring her for service with veterans.
