Broker's Comments

These iconic Admiralty Harbour Launches have been servicing fleet operations since as early as 1882, initially steam driven and later, diesel powered.
With the advent of WW2, a further 90 updated diesel launches were commissioned to Fairlies design and built by 13 different UK boatyards.
Built in 1958, this example spent her working lift around Portsmouth until passing into private ownership in 1986.
She is in very good overall condition and is a blank canvas for her new owner.
Call Steve to arrange you viewing aboard this historic craft.
These boat details are subject to contract.
Note: Offers on the asking price may be considered.
