S J Tims, Staines

[Gavi]

Does anyone know when they moved to their current location? I wonder if Camellia was built in their old location on the Staines side, or the current one on the Egham side.

True, but it wouldn't be as much fun as asking on here - a true wealth of information... and some might remember the other boats they made /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Fair enough. Fantastic boat!

I believe Camellia was built in Staines by SJ Tims for its hire fleet in 1939 but she wasn't fitted with her engine until 1949 (see December MBM). Gillian Nahum at Hambleden Sales is a good contact for more info on 01491 578870.

Thats a lot of money for a non Andrews slipper, its got a flat bottom so probably an old hire boat, Andrews have proper forefoots to the hull, a keel and skeg.
Looks nice though.
