Wooden Ships Comments on this Motor Launch
Built by Pascoes Boatyard at St Just in Roseland, Cornwall, probably in the 1950’s. She is believed to have been the school ferry in the 1960’s carrying children from St Mawes to Flushing across the Carrick Roads.
She was purchased by the present professional shipwright owner and given an extensive refit, completed earlier this year. She had extensive rot in the starboard side and needed most of the topsides down to the water line replacing, along with numerous frames. New decks fore and aft, new capping rails, fitting of the windscreen and an overhaul of the engine completed the refit. She is an absolutely stunning launch, a real head turner, and is no doubt in superb condition after the extensive amount of professional work she has had.
The large cockpit is great for day trips with family and friends, but with the addition of the forepeak which has seating and a heads she can give a little bit of shelter when required on damp days.
A beautiful and quite unusual launch in superb condition. Light enough to be towed on a decent trailer if required.
