‘Tumblehome’ is one of a number of early 1950’s hire fleet motor-cruisers built to the Royal Tiara design by Royalls Boatyard of Wroxham, Norfolk.
Sold out of service in to private ownership, ‘Tumblehome’ has since been the subject of a complete keel up restoration undertaken by Martham Boatbuilding Company. The project, which took three years was completed in 2008. The vessel was completely re-planked above the waterline and eighty percent below. The mahogany superstructure and coachroof was also renewed together with new front windows, screen and canopy. The cockpit and interior were re-built in mahogany and oak and the cabin re-upholstered. A new electric system was installed and a new Nani 3.21 diesel engine supplying domestic hot water.
A complete photographic record exists of the restoration along with receipts for all the work, equipment and fittings.
‘Tumblehome’ has had limited use since being re-launched and is boatyard stored from November to March every year with an annual exterior re-paint and varnish.
