Description:
Wooden Ships Comments on this Converted Admiralty Motor Yacht Built for the Ministry of Defence in 1943 by the British Power Boat Company as an RAF Rescue Boat. She was delivered in 1945 but never entered active service. Sold by the MOD in 1946 into private ownership and converted to private yacht at the Hampton Launch Works. After many years on the Thames, she made her way to the Mediterranean where some reports suggest she spent time running cigarettes between north Africa and Europe. After being laid up and neglected in Bristol docks, she was rebuilt by David birdwell of the Underfall Yard, being re-launched in 2005. The refit included much work to the hull, a new interior and refitted engines. After being bought by the current owner in 2007, further work was done including al new wiring and many new systems in 2008. More recently some soft wood was found in the hull on the port side, work was started in 2022 and much of the port quarter of the hull was re-planked with many new frames. Some repairs were also needed on the starboard side, the copper sheathing underwater was replaced entirely and the interior received further improvements. The boat is now in very smart condition and given all the recent work done, should be totally sound. Unfortunately one of the gearboxes has developed a problem and needs to be replaced, the vessel is being sold with this known issue to be resolved by a buyer. Length on Deck 43’8”Beam 10’8”Draft 3’5” Construction Planked in 2 layers of mahogany, the first is laid diagonally with fore and aft planking over the top. White lead and calico between the layers of planking. All copper rivet fastened to steam bent oak frames with ash stringers. Hull is sheathed in copper plates below the waterline. Laminated mahogany beam shelf and deck beams. Composite deck structure of marine plywood sheathed in epoxy glass cloth then overlaid with teak. The teak is glued to the subdeck so there are no fastenings through deck. Still available at ListedBuy!
