A Camping Sailing, Rowing And Motoring Boat

The Ultimate ‘Swallows and Amazons’ BoatShe sails, rows, has an outboard motor and you can camp in her.Designed by naval architect Richard Gibbons this boat is 15’ long by 5’ beam and was launched in 2009. Since then, she has provided myself, children and grandchildren with innumerable wonderful holidays afloat, mainly on the Thames and the Norfolk Broads. She has a jib and a flying lugsail, so no boom to knock one overboard, together with a centreboard. She is easily rowed by one but can also be double sculled. When rigged for a rowing cruise she has a camping canopy, and the floorboards are raised to provide a 5’ by 7’ sleeping platform. She has a Yamaha outboard motor if you prefer not to sail or row, ideal to go fishing with. The boat comes with a road trailer and launching trolley.In addition to all the essential gear other items are included: such as 6 lifejackets and a folding anchor, chain and warp.
