Wooden Ships Comments on this 14′ Clinker Motor Launch
Built by Pasco and Sons of St Just in Roseland, Cornwall in 1964.
Refitted by the previous owner with new garboards, replacement engine and some new steamed oak timbers. Used regularly in present ownership every summer on the Dart, she has been perfect for pottering up and down the river as well as exploring around the local coasts.#
Recently the engine has given trouble and the engineer has said it is not economical to repair. The boat is being sold as a project for a new owner to fit a replacement Bukh DV10, another diesel or even an outboard on the transom.
