Image of Design 1812

As a follow up to my posting about Whistler of Paget from Saturday, I did find some good images of the boat. Here's one. Image courtesy of Beken of Cowes, one of the very best marine photographers, from 1965. The image is incorrectly entitled Quest of Paget. Note there is not yet a name on the transom.

Postscript: I stand corrected. I researched this a bit more and in fact two boats were built: Whistler of Paget for De Forest Trimingham and Quest of Paget for his brother, Fenton. There was but 38 lbs difference between the boats. I believe Paget refers to one of the nine parishes of Bermuda, where De Forest Trimingham was a member of Colonial Parliament.
