A 2018 article from YWB Forum:

Gang Warily is currently moored at Maryport and is due to come out for some more serious work this winter. I took charge of her in 2014 after finding her for sale in Aberystwyth. She was looking a bit sorry for herself but the survey indicated she was basically sound but in need of drying out and some intensive tlc. After some work in Wales to get her tidied up and fit for the voyage, I brought her nearer home to do the refit that Doug referred to.

When the boat was built for Maldwin Drummond (a one off design by J Francis Jones) he wanted it to be his "home" at sea; essentially my refit was to remodel the interior to reflect my wishes for a "home" at sea. In doing so I wanted to keep the feel and character the same. Hence the search for as much info on her as I could. To that end Maldwin (sadly since passed away) and George Whisstock (now in Maine) who helped build her in 1970 in his father's yard both helped with information. I'm glad to say Maldwin was happy with the work.
