Remarks:

In the current ownership for 30+ years, this lovely little launch was rebuilt (underwater and some topside planks, with associated timbers) by the vendor’s son and his grandfather, who were both boat builders, shortly after she was purchased by the family. The decking, seats and thwart were subsequently rebuilt by the vendor, a retired engineer, in 2014-2016, at which time the electric motor was also installed replacing the boat’s original Stuart Turner engine (not included in sale). She has been wintered ashore every year in the vendor’s workshop, with re-varnishing and repainting carried out annually as required. This is a really nice little launch which has clearly been well looked after and which is near silent under power thanks her environmentally-friendly electric propulsion. Regretfully for sale as the vendor wishes to reduce his boat collection!

PLEASE NOTE: It’s understood that the vessel has one cracked timber. She is otherwise understood to be in very good order throughout.
