Boat Description

'Amorita' is a charming electric riverboat. She is a 5-meter-long 'Winkle Brig', designed and built by David Smith in 1996. She has provided much joy to her current owner on the Thames for over 20 years.

Restoration and Covers

The cockpit woodwork was restored in 2022, and she comes with three different covers, including:

  • A “camping tent” for general storage, fitted in 2023
  • A white awning (with plastic windows) for sun and rain protection
  • A tonneau cover for occasional use
Trailer

Yard trailer suitable for winter storage and launching

Motor and Batteries

The 36-volt electric motor was installed by The Thames Electric Launch Company in Goring.

The batteries are over six years old and are due for replacement in the next 12 months, either with lead batteries (estimated at £900) or with longer-lasting (and longer-range) lithium batteries at a cost of approximately £1,200 - £1,500.
