Give a retired lifeboat a home?

[milltech]

No, not mine. A really nice Ex RNLB Watson 47 self-righter circa 1961, twin Gardner 5LW, nice order, known by many people in the Western Solent, licenced for tripper jaunts out of Yarmouth so suitably equipped and on-line.

Basic tea making and sleeping but would need conversion for proper sleep-overs, would suit day launch, or same trippery use like Joseph Soar in Salcombe or The Robert at Eastbourne. (Same class).

Nice to own a little history and a gallant old girl. Unfortunately for me, one is enough.

How much is it then?

Not sure actually, probably asking a shade under £30k, it's what I'd expect to see, but I think she's worth £25k. They never make big bucks because of the layout, I paid a lot more for mine but she's had the full internal conversion treatment, (although not a self righter).

I forgot to add that I have the owners phone for anyone so inclined.
