Wooden Ships Comments
Vertue no. V22 built by Newmans of Poole in 1949 to the evolved Vertue design from Laurent Giles with the short doghouse.
She suffered fresh water rot in the top sides and deck area, mainly amidships and was bought as a project several years ago. Unfortunately the energy and time for the project has dwindled so she must find a new home.
Work has been done to repair or replace the galvanised strap floors across the centreline and some new oak frames have been laminated in. There are more frames to do, several shifts of planking, a replacement beamshelf and possibly a new deck.
The merits of the Vertue design are well known and this could be a superb yacht once again in the right hands.
Being offered as a complete rebuild project.
Length on Deck 25’3″
Beam 7’6″
Draft 4’6″
Thames Tonnage 5TM
