Sailing Dinghy Lune Pilot

Replica of a Working Boat from the 1920's used by the Lune pilots in all weather to take Pilots to waiting ships in the estuary of the Lune river and Morecombe Bay more often in foul weather, which true to its roots makes this a safe, stable and tough craft.Tan Standing Lug on an unstayed mast makes for a simple and quick rigging. Choice of two foresails and bowsprits dependant on sailing conditions.Launching trolley sits on a road trailer - both galvanised. My wife insisted that we had an engine so I purchased an old Seagull outboard. It worked ok when it was purchased over a year ago. Seagulls like Land Rovers go on forever, however it has never needed to be used on this boat, it is a sailing boat!

Generally in good condition, probably will do with some antifouling at the end of the season although with a boat like this what is a season! Why am I selling what is a fun and easily sailed boat with lots of character? I have fallen off a ladder and suffered a massive tear to my radial cuff, ouch. I am due to test the NHS for surgery shortly which will take at least 3 months to recuperate and even then might still give me mobility problems so 'Veronique' must go to someone with 'Swallows and Amazons' aspirations and enjoy this lovely Summer we are having.The boat is on my drive in Horndean - just north of Portsmouth.I do not know the date that the boat was built but the listing insists that I put a year in so please be aware that it is only a guess and was done to comply with requirements.
