This Isle Ewe 21 is a very special boat indeed. Built in 2015, this stunning wheelhouse fishing boat / launch is built by traditional craftsman, overseen by the Master Boat Builder Alasdair Grant, on the Isle of Ewe, off the Scottish Coast, using the traditional wooden Carvel boat construction method, which has created a modern boat with a completely classic feel. Using traditional materials including Oak, Opepe & Larch woods with copper rivets, complimented by more modern materials, this boat feels like it was constructed decades ago. A sold and tall, wheelhouse sits forward, offering protection from the elements and secure, dry storage space under the foredeck. Modern fitments include a Beta 30 Diesel Inboard engine with shaft drive, Colour Chart Plotter & VHF Radio as well as an electric Anchor Windlass. A huge open deck with two varnished lockers and engine cover, which all double as seats, mean this boat is great for carrying kit, or as a fishing platform. This is a real head turner that has to be seen to be appreciated. It is lying Southampton.

Brokers Comments
WOW, WOW, WOW, if you are looking for something a little different with bags of character and oodles of charm, then this Isle Ewe 21 is definitely for you. Although recently built in 2015, Lewenie is built of wood, in a Carvel style construction, so has all the looks and appeal of a classic launch / fishing boat with wooden planking and a gloss varnish finish. Built on the small Island of Ewe, just off the Scottish Coast, by the highly respected Master Craftsman, Alasdair Grant, this little boat is a real head turner and will draw attention wherever it goes. The advantage of being recently built using traditional construction methods but using modern techniques, is that it comes with the modern amenities that make it suitable for 21st Century boating. These include a Beta 30 diesel engine, electric anchor windlass, Chart Plotter, VHF and more. This lovely little boat has an open wheelhouse, to give some protection from the elements and a huge open deck area, making it great for transporting lots of equipment as a launch or for fishing from. This Isle Ewe 21 is an absolute must for viewing.
Isle Ewe Boats are one of the last traditional Boat Builders in the UK that are still operational. They only build a very few boats for select Clients, so this 21 is a very special boat indeed and it is now looking for its next Custodian to enjoy her for many years to come. She has recently been anti-fouled and had new anodes fitted and is currently lying in Southampton
