Morgan Giles West Channel Class

West Channel One Design from the pen of F.C. Morgan Giles and built by Morgan Giles Ltd in 1948.

Bought by a previous owner in a dilapidated state, a major rebuild commenced in 2010 with the boat being launched in 2016 although not quite finished.  She went into a shed where work continued until the refit came to a halt in 2020.

Below is a list of work done so far:

• Hull rebuilt with 32 new frames and 4 new floors
• New 24mm Bulkhead in way of the mast
• New deck structure including deck beams and plywood
• New coachroof including coamings and coachroof deck
• New interior partially fitted, needs completion
• Low hours Beta engine ready to install
• New Collars mast with the boat, complete with mast fittings

She needs rigging and sails, systems, electrics and interior completion.

The hull is in superb condition and all the hard work has been done by the current owner.  She is being offered at a low price to encourage a quick sale and to ensure the boat goes to the right person who is able to complete the works required.
