Broker's Comments

This vessel is a superb conversion of a rare ex RNLI Watson class lifeboat, the Sir Arthur Rose. She is accredited with saving 95 lives during her active service and comes with a very extensive history file.

Continuously refurbished by the RNLI at regular periods to the highest possible standards during her life, she was retired from active service in 1973.

In 1998 she was subject to a full boatyard refit This included 2 new Perkins Sabre 107hp engines, new decks, superstucture in 1" sheathed marine ply and a full internal conversion The last survey was completed in 2015

This vessel is an attractive, modernised classic which will attract admiring glances wherever she goes and having been refurbished and maintained to a good standard will give her future owner a great deal of cruising pleasure
