Remarks “Ashburton” was the Hampshire Police launch from 1971 to her decommissioning in 1996, during which time she was maintained on a “no expenses spared basis”. She was purchased out of service by the present owner who has used her as a training vessel. The interior has been substantially upgraded and the whole vessel gives the appearance of being very well maintained. She has local authority certification for twelve persons. Please note. These details are provisional at the moment and may be liable to change.
