Remarks:
A traditional river day launch, ideal for both Norfolk Broads or River Thames (or similar) use, and in the current ownership since 1998. A photographic record is available for inspection at viewings showing this vessel throughout the current ownership, from her bottom up restoration in 2002, through to almost the current day. This is clearly a very well looked after launch which positively gleams! For sale to make space for wet shed storage of another vessel. A quick sale is desired and this launch is priced to sell! A really lovely example!
PLEASE NOTE: Vessel dimensions are approximate. No trailer is included in the sale.
