"tavana ketch" in Google gets you this page of the boat in charter...

...from which it appears to be a Roc 129, which when googled comes back as a early 70's 40'r.

Thanks Man, I am glad you had the time for all that - I didn't think of googling the word on the sail cover... thanks for taking a minute to help me!

He is another one for you. What is the type of boat that the first singlehanded nonstop around the world girl sailed. Chay Blythe loaned it to her, it was a van de stadt design, and built by Tylers... ??

Need the model and length...

Thanks first rate internet researcher!

It was a Gallant 53, named "The Spirit of Cutty Sark". Built in 1968. Renamed "Express Crusader" for her sponsor the Daily Express.
