An opportunity to own a true RNLI classic!
The Watson 46 is a much loved old girl and a famous type in the proud history of the RNLI. This one has been lovingly owned and cared for. She benefits from the addition of a gaff rig for off wind sailing and although she might not win you any trophies around the cans in your local club races she should take you safely wherever it is you want to go, slowly! She will also attract the lion's share of admiring glances wherever you drop your mud hook!
