Hi,

The following photo's were passed onto me by a friend who owned and restored this boat in the mid 80's. He lived in Shoreham and the boat was sold on locally before the restoration was completed to a persistent  gentleman who was desperate to own her.
She has been described to me as being made by Vosper, Length 16ft, Single shaft. Construction is double planked, the inner layer is diagonal and the outer layer is horizontal.

Two Questions.

1.What is she?
2.Is her where abouts still known?

	I wonder if it's a tender from a motor Yacht, the bilge keels appear to be a retro fit as she would suffer from being a bit unstable when at rest as she is built for going fast forward
