This launch was originally owned by Lady
Christie of the famous auction family, to take her across from
Brownsea
Island
to Poole
Harbour.
She was then purchased and used on
the river Thames
until the early 1970’s – at which time she was taken out of the
water and put into storage.
Her current owner purchased the
boat in 2005 (becoming only the third owner in fifty years) and
subsequently brought her to us for complete restoration
including renovation of her original Healey engine.
During restoration no serial
numbers were found on the launch and we believe it could
possibly have been the first prototype of this particular model
to have come out of the workshop of Donald Healey.
“Lady Christie” is for sale complete with overall cover and
purpose built trailer.
