Wooden Ships Comments on this Clinker motor launch
Clinker motor launch, not known exactly where or when she was built, but judged to be a 1950’s boat.
Professionally cared for in the present ownership, with a thorough refit last winter including a new foredeck, new engine box, rebuilt trailer and all new external paint and varnish.
She is a well equipped boat with a chart plotter, recent engine and good condition Snipe road trailer making her a complete package in good sound condition.
The generous beam and substantial build make her a solid and stable boat, more capable than her length would suggest.
Length Overall 14′
Beam 5’10”
Construction
Clinker planked in mahogany all copper rivet fastened to steam bent oak timbers. Varnished topsides all stripped back to bare wood and re-varnished with Deks Olje in 2022.
