Remarks

This lovely traditional Gentleman's launch is sadly in need of restoration. She has extensive rot at the seams (found on attempting to relaunch a couple of years ago) and it is estimated that approximately 80% of the planks below the waterline need to be replaced, along with some of the frames. She will undoubtedly make a very rewarding project over the coming winter for someone with the required woodworking skills, and with her quiet electric motor installation she will make a fantastic day cruiser or weekender for a couple or small family. A good new home is sought and all sensible offers will be considered. Currently lying ashore (hardstanding fee approximately £125 quarterly).
