in 'my boat is so small', i recall davison writing that she fortuitously found the boat 'felicity ann' for sale, and bought it. have i got this wrong? seems incorrect that this article calls the boat 'purpose-built', no?

this boat is now owned by a judge in alaska, there is some obscure mention of that on the web in the archives of an alaska newspaper. it would be nice to include this information regarding the fate of this historic sailing vessel. the boat was on land (and had been for some years) in seward last time i spoke with him, in about 2004.

i am also suspicious of the mention that in 'florida junket' davison was accompanied by her second husband, frank. i haven't read this book, but i suspect somehow it is confusing some husbands. frank died before she sailed to america, and at the point when he died i recall her sailing experience was extremely limited and did not include such a trip.

Ann and Frank Davison did not work as civilian flight instructors during WW2 - this was ther period when they farmed on the islands in Loch Lomond in Scotland. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tegan148 (talk • contribs) 18:02, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ann was married three times with the second marriage being very short lived. Her third husband and the one in Florida Junket was Bert. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tegan148 (talk • contribs) 22:04, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Felicity Ann left Alaska in 2009 and is now in the hands of the Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding at Port Hadlock, WA. Here she will be fully restored during the next few years. Felicity Ann was a spec built yacht by Mashfords of Cremyll (near Plymouth). At the time 4 similar yachts were built of which Felicity Ann was one. Two yachts were counter stern and two transom.
