Wow!! what a fantastic Classic Gentleman's Launch, steeped with history!! Registered as a "Historic Ship"

This classic will be re painted and varnished for the new desiring owner which will give them many more years of enjoyable cruising!

There are selection of bespoke covers that come with this , including a full winter one, Cockpit, and one that can protect the passengers complete with frames! The list goes on in what this superb vessel has to offer.

A rare classic vessel that has a very interesting history and some inferential owners and it has certainly been restored to a high standard and loved by the current owner!
