Broker's Comments
This is a most interesting vessel. She was built in Singapore by Vosper Thornycroft and rumour has it was used for towing seaplanes.
In 1996 she won an award in the Bristol Harbour water festival.
Over the last few years she has been fully restored by Wigmore Wright Marine Services of Penarth including a full rebuild of her engine, gearbox and steering system.
She is presented in outstanding condition and must be viewed to be fully appreciated. Definitely a motor vessel for the discerning yachtsman.
