Stebbins Gentemans Motor Cruiser

Surveyed this lovely old Gentleman’s Cruiser today built in the 1940’s by the yard Stebbings Boat builders in Burnam on Crouch, England.  



Always worth checking the bondings and anodes on a wooden boat as the boats normally held together with copper nails which can corrode! To confirm the condition of the bondings, test for continuity between the anode and the sterngear/ steering gear and skin fittingse using a multimeter set to "ohms" on the R x 1 scale. The anode must be scraped with a knife in order to get a good conductive reading

Jon who runs the yard at Wayford Bridge also owns a Stebbins (see 2 x images above)... this ones not in quite the same condition.
