Wooden Ships Comments on this Varnished River Launch
Built in 1950 by Allday Austin, Guildford as a work vessel for the River Way Conservancy.
Major professional refit in last 3 years with extensive areas of new planking and lots of new oak timbers. Work carried out by a very experienced shipwright who has worked on the Thames for many years.
Now based on the Thames, she has a new Boat Safety Certificate and a 10 month River Thames licence included with the sale so should a new owner wish to continue using her on the Thames, she is absolutely ready for this summer.
The boat is complete with a very nice twin axle road trailer, cockpit cover, winter cover and all recent upholstery.
A very smart and attractive launch ready for the season ahead.
