This is a 1930s Borwick-built motor launch, restored and ready for launch at Windermere Jetty Museum. This is a museum restoration – the mahogany planking was repaired, the oak keel, steam-bent frames and engine were replaced, and the stern gear and steering and electrical system were restored. It has had traditional recaulking, and tung oil-based brightwork and paintwork. It measures almost 11 metres.
