of the craftsmanship that has gone into making this launch.
The lines of it, the art deco styling, the timber so highly polished its like a mirror finish. Whoever built this is truly a craftsman.

you are so right, and I bet it sounds awesome as well, especially at slow speeds.

Well it appears to be Right Hand drive :o...so it cannot be built for our Cousins from the Land of the Free {-)
Yes, a V8 or V12 Packard in the forecastle?.............[burble.......burble]....... Derek

If it was mine I would make passengers wear slippers to prevent them scratching the finish.
Gorgeous ad also great find Brian. It would make a lovely model.
-
I wouldn't allow passengers and I would
Employ a team to dry and polish it after my
trip round the bay.

Derek,
Cut your cousins a bit of slack... right hand drive is not really so rare across the pond. After all, we stopped recognizing lines on the sea back around 1776... :embarrassed:

PS, Of course the current "one" may draw his "own" lines........

As far as I know, almost all vessels "over here" are right hand drive.
I am lucky in that we have a marine museum close to us that is loaded with these wooden beauties. There is a regatta there every summer with about 150 of them on the water in a parade. Some are quite historic in they were originally built for some of the Captains of Industry way back when.
I will get some pics of the parade this summer.
