Eileen is a 42ft 1920 Looe lugger and (along with Guide Me) was one of the last five boats still working out of Looe in the late 1960s. Being a late lugger, she is not as fine lined as earlier boats, therefore, doesn’t  sail as close to windward. She makes up for this with ample internal space. We’re also told, once her particularly large “iron tops’l” is hoisted,  they generally make it in time to catch last orders.
