Remarks:
Believed to have originally been built in the 1950s as a Teignmouth fishing lug-sailer, with a centreboard and neither fore nor aft deck, this motor launch has just reached the end of a comprehensive restoration (including engine overhaul and new trailer and cover). And she gleams! So munch so that it makes photographing her in the sunshine quite difficult! Now unexpected for sale as the vendor wishes to up-size due to growing grandchildren! A truly superb example – I doubt you’ll find better.
