Classic 16' McNulty Sailing Launch for sale in Hants United Kingdom

Wooden Ships Comments on this 16′ McNulty Sailing Launch

Clinker sailing motor launch built by McNulty Boats in 1995.

In present ownership for 23 years, used extensively around the Solent and some trips further afield.

Very pretty boat with an inboard Beta diesel engine that has been recently serviced. Unusually she has a standing lug rig and sets a decent sized sail. She is not a racing boat and will not sail hard to windward, however with a free wind she will tramp along very nicely. Dagger board fitted for use when sailing.

Comes with an all over cover and road trailer.
