Wooden Ships Comments on this 16′ Clinker Motor Launch
Believed to have been built as a ships boat for a Lowestoft Fishing Trawler, she was originally just a heavy duty rowing boat and had an engine fitted at some stage in the past. She is a very pretty little boat with a beautiful sheer line and slips effortlessly through the water.
Refitted by the present professional owners, work completed in 2020. The hull was rebuilt with a new transom, new aft deck, new capping rails and the interior fitted out with new thwarts and cockpit sole boards. A reconditioned Beta 10hp diesel was fitted with a newly built engine box. The hull was stripped to bare wood inside and out with all new paint system top to bottom.
She is a very elegant, smart and ready to go launch with a road trailer. Her size is perfect, not too small but not too large, capable of taking family and friends on picnic cruises around the river but also able to undertake local coastal passages.
