The lovely yawl Latifa is one of William Fife III's finest creations, but she certainly wasn't around in 1929 when the first batch of Islanders were racing. She was launched at Fairlie in 1936 and is still sailing, having been restored some years ago in Italy.
The finial with the fine scale model dates from 1951 and was dedicated to the late Mr Fife.
The map will have to go back to the drawing board.
Such are the perils of relying on ones ageing memory!
