Boat only £5,500, a vintage Sporting vessel. Fully restored, in working condition. The vessel was bought in 2022 as a “Covid Project” she needed saving. She has some provenance, from 1990sto date but nothing about where she was built, by who and for who?.
Everything was stripped back to bare wood, repaired and refurbished. The hull has had strengthening fillets added to her, along the keel, epoxied in place and painted, aiding here waterproofness. There are hundreds of photos detailing every aspect of the restoration.
To be purchased separately, ( if required.)
