HISTORY & DESCRIPTION:
The Everyman Motor-Cruiser was a standard vessel built by A R C Marine of Littlehampton from the late 1940’s until the late 50’s. An estimate forty Everyman’s were built during that period with a good number surviving to this day. In January 1947 the first proto-type Everyman was put through its paces, as featured in The Motor-Boat Magazine of that month.

BROKERS NOTE:
A particularly fine example of this popular design of motor-cruiser, equally at home on rivers or estuaries and for short coastal passage making. Eaux des Iles has been the subject of an extensive restoration and refit program with the intention of extended cruising this summer through the French Waterways. A great opportunity to continue the intended trip with the vessel already prepared, just add fuel and provisions!
