Javelin was designed in 1896, launched in 1897 and the information taken fromthe Lloyds, Royal Yacht SquadronandRoyal Corinthian Y.C. archives states:" the wooden sailing ketch Javelin was included in the Lloyd's Register of Yachts 1898/99 edition.
She was built by Payne & Sons, Southampton (later Summer & Payne Limited) and designed by A. E. Payne. She was completed in 1897 and registered in Southampton. Her length: 63'5'', breadth: 14'3'' and depth: 9'8''. Her sails were made by Ratsey & Lapthorne in 1897. At the turn of the century her registered owner was: E.R.T. Croxall of Manor Aldridge, Staffordshire who also owned the 9 ton Shulah. With Javelin, Mr. E.R.T. Croxall won the second prize at the ocean race from Cowes to Waymouth After different owners
In 1950, the boat moved to the Mediterranean and then we lost track of her. We only know that she was registered at theReal Clube Nautico of Barcelona but we do not know the name of her owner. In the summer of 2002, her name was changed to "Javelin of Northam" and she was in a state of complete abandonment in the port of Soto Grande near Gibralta.
Mr. Herve' Decker, in charge, for Spain and Marocco, of the Sailing Channel - the European satellite television station specialising in the world of sailing - saw her and fell in love with her. Mr. Decker realised immediately that the boat was of immense interest and that her resurrection could be a great story to document and to present to enthusiasts.
