Lady Grace is a Matlow 21 GRP hull which has been fitted out as an open launch by the current owner. Not only has she got a shallow draught but she is a great vessel for carrying passengers due to her full beam midship and powered with a beta 28hp, new in 2018, which is unbelievably efficient.
The hull underwent a major refit in 2020 which included bespoke moulded grp seating/lockers forward and engine box/helm console aft. All the decks and bulkheads are now nidaplast and GRP to future proof her. Below the waterline is copper-coated and the boat also benefits from a full surround of large inline fenders which is handy for laying alongside other vessels as a water taxi or alongside pontoons, quays and jetties to collect passengers.
She has a stainless mast with stays to assist passengers getting on and off, with LED navigation lights, radar reflector and antenna fitted for the VHF. The boat comes with all the relevant safety equipment and has been examined fully both in and out the water on 11th March 2024 and was found to comply fully with or exceed the requirements of the Colchester Borough Council Boat Licensing Scheme for Sea Angling and Other Charter Vessels.
