Wooden Ships Comments on this Robertsons of Sandbanks Motor Launch
Built by Robertsons of Sandbanks, Holy Loch in 1955.
Possibly built as a tender to one of the large yachts built on the Clyde but exact history is unknown.
Used on the Thames by the present owner, she carries a BSS certificate valid until July 2025.
She has been sat ashore for a coupe of seasons and the hull has started to dry out with her seams showing. The boat will require work, possible re-caulking and certainly pulling out and replacing the paying compound.
She has a good engine and road trailer so will be a perfect hobby project for the right person. Being offered at an attractive price as the owner wishes to see her in good hands and being refitted.
