Luke 5 tonner

[Gola]

Hello all, I am back a few weeks now from bringing a Luke 5 Tonner home to Donegal, from Bristol. It was a real soggy trip... Teak deck is shot, etc, Anyway, I'm trying to source any info on the 5 tonner, Luke? , plans if they exist and where I might go from here. A really classic wee boat, totally reliable and comfy, so thats it,
Cheers

Hi Conan.
A lovely little boat with stunning lines in my opinion, there is an example called Fluke based in Whitby. There was an article some years ago in Classic Boat magazine that dealt with the yard that built the Luke 5 tonner. I think it was operated by the Luke brothers hence the name, and though relatively small they where known for the fine quality of the boats they built. Is she the one on Boats and outboards for sale?
Regards, Mike.
