Description:
Notwithstanding her astonishing moment of worldwide fame as " the world's most seen boat" - the vessel that carried Sir Winston Churchill up the Thames towards his final resting place during the world’s largest state funeral in January 1965 - HAVENGORE has always been an interesting vessel in her own right.

Since retirement in 1995, in two passionate ownerships HAVENGORE has continued to work for her living as a day charter vessel, MCA licenced for 40 passengers and 10 crew, but always with the potential to operate as a private yacht.
