Wooden Ships Comments on this Motor Launch
Built by Rustons of Mylor, Cornwall in about 1964.
Purchased by the current owner with a rather ugly wheelhouse, she was refitted in 2014 with the new laid teak foredeck and large aft cockpit to make a very attractive and practical motor launch.
The accommodation under the foredeck is basic with space to fit something rather special if desired. There is enough room for 2 good sized single berths to make her an excellent weekend camping boat.
Length 21’6”
Beam 7’6”
Draft 2’4”
