Enola is said to be named after the wife of Captain Livesey, the gentleman who commissioned the vessel.
Enola's first registered owner was E Watson-Smyth a member of the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club, he kept the vessel for ten years before selling to Thomas Ayrton-Stuttard of Moseley Hall, Cheshire, a member of the Royal Anglesey Yacht Club.
During this time the vessel spent sometime in Paris.
In his ownership Enola was acquired by the Admiralty for official WWII duties, including river patrol with a gun mounted on the foredeck.
After the war Enola was sold to E G Dawes and moved up to the Severn Motor-Yacht Club at Worcester.
In 1952 she was sold to A Norman Brown FIMI of Bristol.
During the 1960s, 1970's and 1980's Enola had four successive owners all members of the Stourport Yacht Club on the River Severn.
She was acquired by the present owners in 2009 and has since undergone substantial structural repairs.
