The Windows, deck fittings, horn, spotlight – all original and have been rechromed

A much loved classic River and Estuary cruiser that has been lovingly restored. She has quite a history – She was used to ferry HRH Prince Philip when he opened Grafham Water. There is a commemorative plaque to mark this event taking place. This is an ideal vessel for family cruising for a great price. Video to follow.
