Broker's Comments

This vessel is thought to have been built in 1904 and originally came from the Greenoch -Caledonian Canal area. She is a project boat for completion, and originally had a wheelhouse, saloon and aft cabin, each with two berths, galley and a heads/ toilet/ Washroom.

Constructed in Honduras mahogany, with double diagonal planking and fastened with copper roves, to RNLI standards all of the hull has been professionally restored and finished with epoxy resin. Some of the wheelhouse and hatches have been sanded and epoxy varnished of which all are made of teak

Down below, the bilges have been cleaned and repainted and are ready to receive the Ford 1.9 completely remarinised diesel engines. The wheel house and cabin have been started, sympathetically restored and added to, including new instrument gauges and housings. There are boxes of re-galvanised parts and the original bronze fittings.

Unfortunately, the current owner does not have the time to complete this very fine classic gentlemen s yacht and wishes to sell to some one who can continue the high standard of work already done.
