Built in 1930, 17ft by 6.5ft Larch on Oak sailing motor launch (Bermuda rigg). Built by Dan Webb of Maldon in Essex. Sail marked as DW1 and, as such, almost certainly a one off design.

Originally fitted out with an inboard engine, pre Stuart Turner, but has definitely had a 1.5hp S.T in her more recently, due to the engine mounts in the hull.

Bought by the current owner in May 2005, she now resides on Windermere, having previously spent most of her life in Suffolk.

Since purchasing, the owner has had a Nicholson two wheel braked trailer made for her and has had a 1.8kw electric engine installed by Lakeland Electrics. She runs off a 36 watt system, two banks of three 110 battery's either side of the retractable keel.

She is half decked, white painted inside and out with detailed varnish work on her rubbing stripe, internal seating, mast, boom, rudder and internal/external combing.

She is in exceptional condition inside and out, having had a full refit over the last two years, and is reluctantly put on the market due to the owners relocation.

Price reduced to £9,990. Reduced, offers invited.
