Andrews Boats 25' Slipper Launch à vendre (1936) dans Marlow, Royaume-Uni

Casablanca is a stunning, fully restored, 25ft Greyhound Launch. Originally built by Andrews of Bourne End in 1936. She has now been totally restored by Andrews Boathouses during 2021/22. Her exterior and interior were stripped back to bare wood, renovated and sympathetically repaired where required. She was then finished with over 16 coats of Awlwood varnish, each coat hand finished before the next coat is applied to give that deep lustrous shine that is synonymous with the classic boats of the period..

She benefits from an original BMC Vedette engine rebuilt by experts Tom Roy and upgraded with hidden electronic ignition, and her engine bay has been finished to show standard. She has been completely rewired with marine grade components and has been fitted out with marine leather upholstery. Finally, as a nod to the present she has USB charging ports, B&O Bluetooth speakers, and a security tracker – all hidden away to ensure she keeps the originality of the launch intact.

**Viewing by appointment only**
