Originally bought by Sir James Horlick and used to ferry guests, goods and suppliers from the mainland to mansion on the Isle of Gigha. She is 3/4's of her way through a total refurbishment project. The hull and engines are complete including the electrics. New Iroko decks! In need of some internal TLC and refurbishment. Ideal finishing project if you have some time and a little extra cash. Rare to market this Nelson 26 is going to be an absolute dream to drive once complete!!!!
