Remarks:
A beautiful Broads-built motor launch, with recently installed ‘new’ (reconditioned 2019) engine, and complete with road trailer. Owned by the same family for some 25 years, this launch has been lovingly maintained with great respect for her originality and traditional features. She boasts more space than most launches of this type, being 22 foot long, and she therefore offers ample room for friends and family on river outings and picnics. Originally built as a yacht tender, her engine has plenty of power for towing purposes, and she would without doubt compliment any Broads or other traditionally-styled yacht or motor cruiser. A real head turner!
Please note: Harvey has not been launched in 2021 (although the engine has been started and ran well) as she is currently awaiting some maintenance/repairs to be carried out by a very well respected local boatyard. Please contact Topsail for further details.
