About this Custom Open Launch

English

'Daisy May' was purchased by her current owner as a bare hull in approximately 2010 and he then spent about five years "fitting her out" and installing the engine. The hull is believed to be a Heybridge Skiff mould or very similar. 'Daisy May' has been used to potter around Burnham on Crouch during the summer months, not used every year, and kept ashore in the owner's garage otherwise. She would make an ideal launch for the Upper Thames or Norfolk Broads, or even a superyacht tender!

Viewing by appointment only through our Essex office on 01621 785600 or via email - Essex@clarkeandcarter.co.uk

Mechanical Systems

Located under a central, hinged wooedn engine box. Yanmar 1GM10 single cylinder, 9hp marine diesel engine. Shaft drive to a fixed 3-bladed propeller. Seawater cooled. Single lever controls with electric start. Tiller steering. The simple electrical installation consists of a 12v battery for engine starting charged via the engine alternator.

The engine appears to be in very good cosmetic order and was last serviced in 2023 by her engineer owner. Although the exact hours are not known they are believed to be low as Daisy May has only been very lightly used.
