Wooden Ships Comments on this single engine motor yacht
Built by Pearns yard in Looe in 1930 for the Trescoe hotel on the Isles of Scilly as transport for the guests to and from St Mary’
The hull is unaltered from her early days, however in present ownership the new superstructure and decks have been added to transform her from a purely day use boat into a much more versatile little vessel. The large wheelhouse gives shelter and space inside out of the elements making her a more useable boat, and with a heads, galley and 2 berths, she is very much a ‘long weekender’ which is able to explore the creeks and rivers as well as being more than capable of cruising up the coast.
Construction
Hull
Planked most likely in pitch pine all copper fastened to closely spaced steam bent oak timbers, the majority of which have been sistered at some stage in the past. One or two large sawn oak frames built into the hull for added strength.
Decks and cockpit
Deck is all new constructed of marine plywood, screwed and glued to the deck beams and sheathed in epoxy cloth. All bronze fittings on deck including fairleads and cleats.
Non self draining cockpit at the aft end with seating. A good deep cockpit making it safe at sea. Painted sole boards.
Superstructure
Superstructure is also new and was built at the same time as the deck. Constructed of epoxy sheathed marine plywood with the interior finished in T&G cedar panelling. Large windows all round give excellent visibility. Wheelhouse roof has handrails either side
