Description:

Wooden Ships Comments on this Liverpool Class RNLB Liverpool Class RNLB built by Groves & Guttridge Ltd, Cowes, in 1939. She served as the lifeboat for Cloughey, Co. Down with a well documented service record. After being sold out of the RNLI in 1966, she was used as a private motor launch. Between 2010 and 2012 she underwent a major restoration in the hands of Nelsons Boats, a yard specialising in lifeboats. She was put back as close as possible to her original service condition by sourcing as many original parts, features and fittings as possible. She was re-engined with an almost new Ford 4D. The hull was found to be in excellent condition with no structural repairs required during the refit period. This vessel is a living and working piece of maritime history in excellent condition, very capable and tough with legendary sea keeping qualities. She is not equipped with the luxuries of a modern yacht and as such offers a different type of boating but she does it with style. Complete with forward tent offering a dry cabin with 2 berths when required. This is not a project boat, she will be launched fully serviced and ready to go. The owner can deliver her to anywhere on the Clyde as part of the sale. The boat is on the National Register of Historic Ships and is eligible to fly their dedicated ensign. This is a remarkable boat with many original features and fittings. Clean survey from 2021 available. Length on Deck 35’6”Beam 10’2”Draft 3’3” Construction Double diagonal Honduras mahogany hull. 2 layers of diagonal planking with Kalico and white lead in between, fastened through with copper rivets. Canadian rock elm frames. Bronze strap floors across the centreline. External iron ballast keel with a steel plate centreboard. Heavy rubbing strake all round with traditional ropes to assist with man overboard situations. Fore and aft decks made from 2 layers of double diagonal Honduras mahogany. Substantial oak mooring posts fore and aft. Main. Still available at ListedBuy!
