History
FOAM is a Cornish lugger of wooden carvel construction, built by Henry Roberts of Mevagissey. She has a Ford 65 hp diesel engine. In 1980 she had a major refit with a new keel, deck, transom, masts and engine.
When acquired by her present owner she had been abandoned for two years and now requires restoration.
