Old sailing dingy

Date is a guess, Longhope regatta maybe. Wonder is this the Annie? Any suggestions?

Alan, if this is the "Annie", the photo must have been taken before 1950, as Willie Doull had her fitted with Bermuda rig shortly after the war.
Billy Dass used to helm the boat and that could easily be him, but the jib sheetsman does not really resemble Willie.In my opinion, the photo appears to be pre war

Was the Annie not a bit bigger as I remember, did she not have a bit o decking forard and aft, and a slide thingy on the stern. Not a sailor you know!!.

Is the Annie the same boat as Sinclair Mowat had at one time? She had an engine and was in the Haven when I was a boy. I think she was partly decked.

When I think back, Sinclair Mowat's boat was the Amy (or Amie).
