Thinking about buying or insuring a boat in Preveza Greece??

Percy Hunter Half Decker

My boats just about ready to launch... shes looking really smart for a lady of nearly 70 years!

Originally called Wannick and built by the Hunters boys Cyril and Stanley in 1949. The boys fancied her as a quick boat and they based thier design on the Flying 15.

Wannick is Ludham slang for Wommack where she was built on the Northern Broads. Ive now renamed her Hunter.

Are you thinking of buying a Half Decker? She will be up for sale at the end of the season 2012... make me a sensible offer and she could be yours!

She hasnt been in the river for 12 years so ive had her filled up with water for 3 days so she will 'take up'... seems to be as tight as a drum now which is amazing considering she has no caulking..

Notice her wider decks and smaller rig when she was first built
