Wooden Ships Comments on this Camper and Nicholson Motor Launch
Built in 1917 by Camper and Nicholson, this elegant motor launch has all the hallmarks of her era and is a simply stunning motor yacht.
Rebuilt by the Leopoldo Shipyard, Lake Como, between 2007-2010.
After arriving in the Mediterannean in the 1940’s she has had a varied history including being used as a coral fishing boat in Sardinia complete with hyperbaric chamber, and in 1976 she was a luxury transfer vessel for club Med guests and also featured in a notable French film.
In 2007 a major professional rebuild commenced under the current owners with no expense spared.  The hull was stripped bare inside and out, any necessary hull repairs completed and a complete new deck structure fitted.  All systems, machinery and equipment have been replaced to subtly introduce the modern world without destroying her patina.
A superb and unique motor yacht full of history, pedigree and class.

Wooden Ships Comments on this Commercial Dining Charter Vessel
This vessel is part of a successful local Falmouth based business and is now running for its sixth season offering harbour excursions with beautiful meals aboard a fine vessel.
The vessel was built by Curtis and Pape of Looe in 1971 as a fishing vessel.
Purchased by the current owners in a dilapidated state, she was given a thorough refit in 2018 and converted into the fine vessel she is today.  Much of the hull planking and framing was replaced, the hull totally re-fastened, a new wheelhouse and deck layout fitted with all new systems and machinery bringing her up to the standard required.
As a platform for functions and group outings on the water she is excellent, mixing the charm and relaxing atmosphere of a traditional boat with all the modern systems and conveniences to ensure the guests time aboard is exactly as they wish.
Full details of the business available on request.  This is an established business in the Falmouth area with a mix of returning customers and new clients.  Trips are tailored to suit the needs of the client with options for various locations, lengths of trips and different times of day.  She is licenced to operate in Falmouth and Helford.  The vessel is a licenced bar to sell alcohol.
This business could be added to an existing hospitality establishment ashore as another option for guests, getting people afloat and seeing the local area from a different perspective, or taken on by an enthusiastic new owner to continue with the same very successful business model.
Contact us for details of the business and accounts.

Wooden Ships Comments on this 18′ Nick Smith Traditional Motor Launch
18’ varnished clinker motor launch built by Nick Smith of Salcombe, a skilled and experienced boat builder who has a reputation for building exquisite motor launches.  This boat was completed in 2021 and first launched in the spring of 2022.
His designs are based on the traditional working boats of Salcombe with a straight stem, full bilges and an elegant sheer line.
Derived from the inshore fishing boats of Salcombe, this launch is an excellent sea boat with the full bilges giving good internal volume and excellent stability, while the full bow sections and high sheer line make them dry boats and very capable at sea.  They are also superb river boats, slipping along at hull speed with next to no wash and turning heads in any setting.
Fitted with a Beta 14hp diesel engine which will give an estimated 6 knots cruising speed.
Commonly these boats are built with a small aft deck and foredeck, however this one is completely open giving more useable interior space.  In the bows is a large V-shaped thwart which provides ample seating space but also a safe step for stepping over the bow when coming into a pontoon.
Used for only 2 seasons and wintered ashore under cover.  She comes with an excellent road trailer, all over cover, warps, fenders etc and is ready for immediate use.

Kasu .22 air rifle, an underlever with the sliding trap for loading.  One problem for these guns is that one loaded you cannot unload, you have to fire into the ground to release the spring. And the pellet should always be loaded with a wooded pricker. Pick the pellet up with a toothpick type of loader and put the pellet in with it. £15  postal with royal mail and tracking so a door pick up with a reduction of the cost of postal. The gun needs some tlc but a good gun at any rate. The rear site needs to be seen to but it is all there....

Air Rifle, Webley Vulcan .22

A very powerful rifle that has been left in a damp place. There are NO sights on this gun.It had a laser sight that has been lost and the damp has created a rough barrel.  I have fired it and the rifling inside is excellent. It also needs a sanding down and fresh varnish and blueing on the metal. A bit of grease and oil and it will turn into a major air rifle again.   It would cost £15 royal mail postage but as it is pickup i will remove £15 off the top offer.  ...
