An extremely pretty gentleman's launch in great condition with an unusual clerestory roof, toilet compartment and galley, built of mahogany on oak in 1932 by Taylor Bates of Chertsey. She was restored initially by Peter Freebody with the internal fit out and propulsion being added by Classic Boatworks in 2006. Since the refit she has overwintered with Classic Boatworks under cover and been returned for a couple of months boating in pristine condition. The electric plant is a 5 kw motor and batteries with onboard generator and charger. The BSS certificate is valid until June 2011. She is just road legal in terms of moving her around from one venue to another as the present owner has done regularly in order to enjoy both the Dee and the Thames where she is a regular visitor to the Henley Royal Regatta.
