Colin West writes: "I once lived and worked aboard M.V. 'Byeed' in 1985 for several months whilst she was lying in Gibraltar. She was used generally as accommodation and the occasional trip across the straits to Ceuta or Algeciras. Internally she was undergoing a lengthy refit."
'Byeed', ex 'Naromis' was designed by Halliday in 1938 for R. J. Clutton, a member of the Royal Thames Yacht Club and built by J. Powles Ltd., Wroxham. She is a 39 ft. twin screw motor yacht of timber carvel construction.
It's not known how she found her way to Gibraltar and her current whereabouts are unknown although she is believed to still be somewhere in southern Spain, possibly Duquesa on the Costa del Sol.
If you have any further information on her history or whereabouts it would be great to hear from you.
