HISTORY & DESCRIPTION:
The owner of this fine example of the Salcombe Trader purchased the GRP hull, moulded by Buccaneer Boats, then designed and fitted out the coach roof, deck and interior to a very high, no expense spared, specification. As a cabinet maker, the project was completed alongside his regular work in a lean-to adjacent to his workshop in Cornwall and launched in 2010.
The 27 foot Salcombe Trader hull was chosen after much research and reading the excellent reviews in the Classic Boat, Yachting Monthly and Boatman magazines (reprints available)
