Remarks:
This lovely classic clinker open launch benefits from a recent engine (reconditioned) installation, electrical refit and new overall cover and traditional rope fenders. And with her varnish finish and elegant lines, she turns heads wherever she goes! A great tender for a larger vessel, or just for enjoying the local waterways, rivers or lakes. At 16 foot long, she provides plenty of space and seating for guests. Beautiful!
