Description
A truly unique boat. This 52 ft. lifeboat; mahogany on oak with ally superstructure boat; is ready to be fully converted into a liveaboard. Ideal Caribbean cruiser and fun money maker as a charter or fishing boat; or keep as a workhorse and be the most popular boat on the waters. Solid ex RNLI Barnett Class Lifeboat, launched in 1955 as the “John Gellatly Hyndman“, on service in the Orkneys for 20 years as an all-weather rescue vessel. She towed numerous damaged boats to Antigua after Irma. Also served as the finish line at the West Indies Regatta! She's undergone a liveaboard conversion. She had a complete refurb of her hull. Mechanics and structure sound and very comfortable for a family or as a utility boat. Strong pulling/towing power and extreme stable at sea.
