J G Meakes Sealion 42 for sale in Bray United Kingdom

Boat Overview

Focsle Rose is a Sealion 42 displacement motor cruiser featuring a round bilge design with a directional keel. It is constructed with a steel hull and a teak superstructure. This vessel is well-travelled around the Mediterranean and is capable of navigating the French canals, which she has done multiple times.

The Sealion 42 was produced by Meakes of Marlow, a company established in 1886 as Meakes & Redknap, later known as J.G. Meakes Ltd. The company operated for nearly 100 years before redevelopment of the site. In 1964, the total price for a Sealion 42 was £15,000, which included luxury fittings.
