This beautiful old skiff originally built on the Isle of Wight by Blake’s of Ventnor around 1936 She was one of a fleet of rowing boats for hire alongside their deck chair hire company. She had fallen into disrepair and has been refurbished to a useable condition and would benefit further renovation. Clinker built in oak with original pine mast, yoke steered rudder, brass row locks and original oars. The companies identification marks are burnt on the transom and oars. The rear seat back still bears the original hand sign written name ‘Greta’. She sits on a ‘Rapide’ road trailer with winch and a wooden trestle on which the boat may be upturned for work, maintenance and storage.
