Broker's Comments
This vessel is steeped in history. She was the last of 100 built for the White Fish Authority to promote the revival of cockle fishing after World War II. Over the past 40 plus years the current owners have made many inprovements and alterations to the vessel since she was first built to carry 6 tons of cockles. Unfortunately the condition of the boat has declined in the last couple of years and now needs someone to love her and restore her to a good condition. Previously this vessel has taken the family on comfortable cruises along the Devon and Cornish coasts, the Scillies, the Channel Islands and over to Britanny. If you are a lover of wooden boats and would like to bring some tlc to this remarkable little ship, then please contact me for a personal inspection.
