Sheila was transfered to Gare Loch before WW2, and during the war, Sheila was stored in a shack, in Ayr. It was bombed and burnt in 1942.
The Crainfield & Carter sail were never found after the fire, but most of the spars survived. JY Wilson bought back Sheila from the insurers, for £20, in 1943 to restore her.
Quoting JY “pre-war she had a very neat loose footed gaff trisail. That sail and the rest of her outfit (Cranfield and Carter best – really best Egyptian – there were cheaper cotton samples quoted) were used only two seasons before the war”
