West Mersea Millgate Sailing Duck Punt 16 Feet Collect Near Portsmouth

I built this sailing duck punt two years ago to the well known John Millgate design. No ducks were hurt in the process, its just the type of boat, and there is no gun. There is a fleet of them at West Mersea, near Colchester, Essex. It is mainly built from marine ply. The rig is mainly that of an Optimist sailing dinghy, with a good quality HOOD sail.

It was built 2 years ago to the well known and successful John Millgate design, and was repainted at the beginning of this season. It could do with a touch up in places but is ready to go sailing again. You will need to supply a set of paddles and/ or oars of your own and you could do with some more thole pins. The wooden launching trolley showing in the photos is not part of the auction.
