Wooden Ships Comments on this Turks of Kingston Rowing Skiff
Built by Turks of Kingston on the River Thames in 1910. The dinghy is complete with a rig and oars plus an original frame to take an awning for hot summer days on the river.
The boat does require work, a full survey was carried out for the owner a number of years ago but the work was never done. She is very original and exceptionally pretty, so would make a worthwhile and interesting refit project for someone with the skills to do so. Her length is such that she will fit in an standard car garage so could be a fun winter project for the enthusiastic amateur.
