A long-lasting project reached its culmination today.  Graham Hayes has meticulously built a 1940’s designed launch at his home over a period of only a little over two years, achieving an astonishing level of quality and finish.  After a final setting of her engine alignment this morning, she was taken to Liverpool Marina for her maiden voyage, where a group of members put her through her paces.  It was fantastic be amongst them and to see Graham looking so happy!

The launch has a tunnel stern, with the prop set high up, enabling it to be used for landing on a beach without causing damage.
