brandenjg Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Its been moored near the 24hour moorings at the frostbite sailing club for quite a while now. The owners seem to be slowly converting it into a cabin cruiser. Branden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel falcon Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 It looks like a sort off colvic Northerner with a loads of modifications?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptinDread Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I don't think its a colvic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 It looks like an ex Ship's Lifeboat hull to me. The stepped gunwhale line has been added to the original gunwhale of the lifeboat hull. If you look carefully, you can see the join just under the name under the bow, running parallel to the cockpit gunwhale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptinDread Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 yeah, thats what I was getting at, the hull is wrong for a colvic I see your point on the old lifeboat, that may be it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyMorgan Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Reckon she started life as a lifeboat, got converted to a longshore fishing boat and now being converted to a liveaboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Time expired ship's lifeboats used to be very popular hull conversions. The "Cachalot" used by the BBC in filming The Big Six was a conversion on a much older clinker lifeboat, but with exactly the same hull lines.
