Description
Remarks :This is an ex-ship lifeboat, as you would expect of a vessel made for this purpose; she is exceptionally well made with fundamental sea-going features. I would have no hesitation in taking this vessel to sea. She has over two tonnes of lead and steel ballast; she has a long keel and still has the engine configuration used if she were a ship's lifeboat with two smaller auxiliary engines and a single central engine of 70hp.The boat has been well maintained and upgraded throughout the years and has been in the same ownership for 20 years. The current owner had her lying ashore for almost ten years whilst she was refitted and has been in the water each season for the last 12 years.
