Kept by the late owner in Mousehole for many years and used for sailing around Mounts Bay with a bit of fishing and exploring.

She has sat ashore in a shed now for several years so will no doubt need some attention before going afloat. She had a thorough refit around 2012 and has only been used for a few seasons since that time

Complete with rig, oars and trailer this is a little gem of Cornish maritime history that deserves the attention of someone who will care for and use her. The boat retains her original name, She’ll Do.
