This Rhodora was built for Rothschild in 1925 and he disposed of her three years later when he had a bigger motor yacht of the same name built.

This one was then re-named Anne-Marie acquired by V G Graae, and berthed in Copenhagen.

Mr Graae then built a different Anne-Marie in 1930, and the ex-Rhodora was re-named Anne of Anstie and owned by Cuthbert E Heath (of Anstie Grange, Holmwood, Surrey)who re-located her back to Cowes.  He was an RYS member from 1930 to 1938.

In 1935 she changed name and owner yet again, when Mr J S Highfield bought her and shortened her name to Anne.  He remained as her owner up to WWII but then the trail runs dry and she doesn't appear in post-War issues of Lloyds.
