Lost a mast in the last year or two?

A trawler has recovered the top 6 metres of a mast ( top to spreaders) in the North Minch, complete with foresail, most of the mainsail, wooden roller boom and a selection of stays.
Sailnumber is 1171, sails by Jeckells.
A phone call to Jeckells with the serial number has not had a response.
Its all too far gone for repair, apart from the boom (and the trawl aint too clever either!) but we're interested
where it came from.
Any suggestions?

If the boat ever had a Clyde Yacht Clubs' Association handicap and the sail number was 1171C then:
1171C LEOBHAN FIJIAN O 20.00
Was there not a similar type of boat lost a couple of years ago at the south end of Kerrera?

Must have been a fair length of mast, and hull. I suppose that it would be possible to work it out.

Fijians were designed by Hartley.......

Apologies for the sloppy post but I hadn't imagined that you might think I wouldn't know that.

As I read it, the Fijian is a 43ft ferro-cement boat. If so, the name Leobhan means that this is the vessel formerly owned by my friend Mike Colyer.
