Broker's Comments

One of the last ever made Gentlemans wooden motor cruiser. Just after this one was completed, motor yachts went over to that new fangled idea of fibreglass. She is beautiful example which has had caring owners all her life which is evidenced by how well found she is today. In recent times she has been repainted, re-caulked and a professional ship-wright has attended to any small jobs that have been needed. She is a proper boat from a bygone age, although a capable coastal boat, she would also be very at home on a lake or river. In particular I can envisage her pottering along the Thames with a skipper holding a Pimms and wearing a straw hat.
