Whistock designed nearly complete project suit liveaboard.

I watched this boat being built from the plate steel being cut and welded by a retired engineer. He was only months away from completeing the boat when he died suddenly of cancer.

It is at an inland boatyard so is not as easy for his family to sell as it might have been if on the coast.

The bloke spent the last 7 years of his life building this to an excellant standard and it is a pity someone does not take it on. I have no connection with either the boat owners or the boatyard, just a lot of respect for the guy who built it.
