100gt, British flag, c/s 2HYF4, owner Stephen Barry, type pleasure, sub-type sailing ship [info dated 2/5/2018].
There have been (at least) two JAMES LEATHARTs before on the British register - one was a 51grt steam barge built on the Tyne in 1894 - but that one had a wooden hull.
The other was 73grt and registered as a motor barge at Newcastle in 1957 (Off No 186867). She was built that year by Campling at Goole. Here is her slightly later sister KIMBERLEY:

I think that the hatch coamings are still there (now painted grey). So perhaps had a conversion to sailing vessel and now being changed back to a motor vessel.
