Description

‘Laughing Waters’ is a striking 48ft Cruiser Stern Inspection Launch, built in 1987 by the highly regarded boatbuilder Peter Nicholls. With her distinctive and elegant slipper stern, she offers a timeless style that is guaranteed to turn heads across the canal and river network. In 2022, she underwent a comprehensive refresh will the hull shot blasted back to bare metal and blacked with 3 coats of two-pack epoxy. The exterior was also professionally repainted by Willow Boats Ltd at Swanley.
