Description:

Wooden Ships Comments on this Fred Parker Twin Screw Motor Yacht 50’ Twin screw motor yacht designed by Fred Parker and built by Port Hamble Ltd in 1965. Designed and built for the CEO of the Mars Corporation, he later sold her and commissioned and similar but larger yacht, also by Fred Parker and Port Hamble Ltd. Known to have been seized by HM Revenue and Customs at some stage, she was kept by them and used for training on the river Hamble, including training of sniffer dogs to search vessels. Sold back into private ownership she has been used for cruising around the West Country and English Channel. A spacious and comfortable boat with up to 3 separate cabins and heads compartments plus a large deck saloon and ample deck space. Her hull appears to be in very good condition which is not surprising as she is planked entirely in teak, a distinct advantage over many comparable motor yachts of the time which were built in mahogany. Length on Deck 49’6”Beam 13’Draft 3’9” Construction Carvel planked in teak all copper rivet fastened to steam bent oak timbers. Mix of sawn timber and galvanised steel strap floors across the centreline. Bronze keel bolts through the centreline. Marine plywood subdeck overlaid with a synthetic teak deck covering. Deck has a small step at the forrard end of the superstructure so the foredeck is slightly raised to increase headroom below. Teak toe rails all round. Painted galvanised stanchions bolted though the deck with a varnished teak capping rail. Varnished teak superstructure with chromed bronze windows. Coachroof and wheelhouse roof is sheathed marine plywood. The wheelhouse roof extends to the full width of the hull to cover the side decks and shelter the sliding wheelhouse doors. Aft coachroof with teak coamings and chocks to carry the tender. Small seating area at the aft end of the wheelhouse with a central table.
