I was asked to carry out an Insurance Survey today on this lovely little Launch. She is a complete 'one off', built as a retirement present for a long serving Director. Shes from the 1930's era, built from Teak, so very very durable. Shes only 19ft long but looks 30ft when viewed from the front!
The owners, Adam and his wife have taken on quiet a few challenges, they are also setting up a Hire Company just for prestige Wooden Boats on the Broads, which includes their latest project restoring of a 1936 40ft 7 berth teak on oak Windboat called Christina. Adam says he wants to find out some more history on her (Windboats lost all their records in a fire and were not much use). Her current name is Lady Christine and she's just been relaunched after being out the water for around 13 years! Hopefully I will run a BLOG on her soon.....

Wow, just came across this, Thats my old boat Tahiti, I spent hundreds of hours scraping and varnishing that boat, she is lovely.
ReplyDeleteI first pulled her out of the water about 20 years ago.
I sold her to a man from Henley on Thames.
Lovely to see her finally finished.
